Haiku and Free Verse Meet At The Workshoppe 
                                      

An appreciative audience of over 40 listened as Christopher Herold and Sarah Zale discussed poetry and haiku and read selections of their work.

The differences in form were distinct, the synergy of the forms remarkable and instructive as the two poets shared their perceptions on the craft and offered their work as evidence.

It was a warm, friendly space, as always, made all the warmer with Alpenfire Cider served throughout the evening.

This third Salon Series was a special blend of community in our community, the kind of evening we hope to share with you, again and again. 

    
  “A writer’s spirit deserves time and space.  Whether you are a journal writer or published author, The Writers’ Workshoppe is here to celebrate the sheer joy of writing.

Write On!              

Do your daily writing. Here. Every week day. Free.

All Levels Welcome

      “Write On” is a group of writers who meet once a week to write without interruption in a supportive, cozy environment. Let’s face it, sometimes writing can become rather isolating and we need to know we’re not alone in this delirious, euphoric process. It can also be ridiculously distracting to write at home.  So whatever your need, join your fellow writers one day a week or five days a week and enjoy the flow created by the collective energy.

 Grab a coffee from Lehani's or Undertown,  bring your laptop and come get your write on.

Schedule:

Sunday through Tuesday All Day.

Wednesday through Friday, 12:00-1:15 p.m.

(After 1:00 please feel free to stay and trade tips, ask for feedback or offer encouragement.

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.
