5/27/13 Meeting Recap

Hello, Fellow Writers!

We had two guests this week, Luc and his friend. Yay! Welcome.

For teachable/exercise (Alex), we did "Sensory" writing. Using five senses, we wrote our experiences on a shared item: Trader Joe's Dark Chocolate Honey Mint. Everyone wrote differently and it was interesting in getting to know each mind.

It is a great tool to use to flesh out the characters or plots by relating to things in sensory experience. It helps tell the flow of consciousnesses, events, characterization, etc. for the readers to get to know them.

For the prompt for the following Monday (June 3rd),

Write about a time when you were in transit of some kind—on a train, plane, bus, or bike, in a car or even on foot. Write about where you were going and why, and focus on what you were thinking, seeing, and feeling as you moved. In literature of every genre, some of the most interesting reflection takes place in transit.

Hey, kinda like the sensory writing exercise!

Have a great weekend! And bring a friend to Write Club. For the rules, please read "The Rules of Write Club."
