Meeting To Discuss Expansion To Non-local Members

We held a special meeting tonight due to the fact that several non-local writers have expressed interest in joining Word Addicts.  Word Addicts was formed in 2015 when Allison Brown asked a few friends to get together and talk about writing.  Two years later we released our first anthology, and we continued to meet monthly. We released a second anthology in 2018.  In late 2019 and early 2020 we reorganized, took on the name Word Addicts, created a website and blog, began a social media campaign. Until now we've been a local group living within a few miles of each other.  Tonight we held a meeting to address how we might expand as a group. We are excited to expand this way. We want to partner with writers everywhere and learn from them, benefit from their knowledge and talents, and enjoy our mutual support.   What do we currently offer members: Opportunities to give and receive feedback on writing. Once-monthly video conferences to discuss writing, receive...

August 2021 Meeting

 Here are the meeting minutes and reminders from our August meeting. It was a fantastic meeting. I really loved it and I’m so thankful to those that came and contributed! It was really one of the good ones!! (Did I make those of you who couldn’t come jealous yet? - I’ll fill you in on what you missed ;) Carin started our meeting with a lesson on her experience with the book “The Artist’s Way” by Julia Cameron. It was very inspirational and Carin did such a wonderful job of connecting creativity with our life and our spirits and our connection to a higher power. She conveyed her feelings about how creativity is innate in us and by cultivating it and releasing it we can improve so much about ourselves and our lives. This is a very watered down version of her lesson so I hope I am doing an okay job of explaining it. I’ll send a pic of her handout below. If you are feeling blocked in someway creatively, “The Artist’s Way” has been recommended by a few group members so it is probably wo...

April 13 Meeting

  I am kind of doing the walk of shame with this email - I completely forgot to send it after the meeting! But it was really great and we missed all those who couldn’t make it. Here’s a quick recap of the meeting: James read a poem and it was wonderful. Lawrence gave us a lesson on writing as it pertains to a visual piece of art and what to think about as you create art. And we went over everyone’s goals. Also, we met Zoe for the first time - welcome Zoe! For next month Ray and Natalie are going to share something with us as it pertains to their monthly goal and we can’t wait for them to share it with us! Natalie is bringing a Demi board and Ray is bringing a cover art for us to see. James has accepted the assignment of teaching the group in May.  Monthly goals:  Ray - bring one cover art for us to see.  Amy J - Finish rewrite and complete a blog post Natalie - bring a Demi board Homer - 4 songs typed up by next month  Marla - next short story subject James - ro...
