Along with workshop updates, each day you’ll receive a writing prompt to keep your momentum going. One of the most difficult things for a writer to do is actually sit down and write. By writing every day you’ll develop a writing habit, you’ll teach your brain to come up with ideas at will-ideas worth writing about and worth reading about. The point is to create a writing habit. It’s like going to the gym. The more you go, the easier it is to keep going. And the more you work out, the better the results. Writing is no different. Work the muscle. Sweat. 

Each and every time you respond to a writing prompt your name will go into the monthly drawing. You can win a cool book or tool from our store or even a workshop! All winners will be announced on the WW Facebook page. You must reply within 48 hours, or if you are unable to attend, a new winner will be selected and your name will go back in the drawing.

Readings and Lectures

Port Townsend, Wa

Margaret McGee  

Wednesday, Jan 27th, 7 pm  

Margaret D. McGee reads from her book, Haiku – The Sacred Art: A Spiritual Practice in Three Lines, newly published by SkyLight Paths. This lively guide introduces haiku as a simple and effective way of tapping into the sacred moments that permeate everyday living. Using personal stories and engaging examples, McGee invites us on a path to respond to the spirit that lives and breathes in the world around us. By capturing and writing down images that make us feel alive and whole, writing haiku becomes a way of relating to the sacred through the “now” of this moment, just as it is. The author will be joined by members of the Port Townsend Haiku Group whose haiku appear as examples in the book.
