JANUARY Wilmington Writers Group - CONFLICT INTO YOUR WRITING

Monday, JANUARY 11, 2016 - 7 pm

Ever read a short story only to get to the end and scream "But nothing happened!"? Ever put a novel down because, in spite of the beautiful language, you just didn't care? Ever receive this critique of your writing: "I can't put my finger on it but something's missing"?

Beautiful words and well-described characters are important, but to really draw your readers in, the story needs conflict by adding conflict to your writing. Come prepared to write in this interactive writing session led by Julie Duffy, host of StoryADay.org and Main Line Writers Group member. Come prepared to try out the instruction at the session with your own writing.

Our meeting place is now McKenzie's Brew House, 451 Wilmington West Chester Pike, Glen Mills PA, just north of the Delaware/Pennsylvania state line. The meeting officially starts at 7:00 pm but many of us come early (around 6:30 pm) to eat and socialize a bit - but you can order your meal at any time during the meeting. They are seating us in an area which should be good for creating a closeness and offer us some seclusion.

Just a reminder that you can order a scrumptious meal at McKenzie's off their extensive menu. We don't get charged for the great room, but McKenzie's does have the expectation that attendees will order a meal. Mark your calendar for every second Monday of the month. Feel free to tell others and bring a friend or two.

This is a membership group. After you attend and try us out, we ask that if you find the group of value and want to continue, you help with the costs of running the group. The costs of the group include the fee I pay for Meetup (it's free to you for use but I pay a heft administrative fee), the web site hosting and buying meals for guest speakers, handouts, fliers, batteries for the microphone, etc. etc. YOUR FIRST MEETING IS $8 AND A TRIAL TO SEE IF YOU FIND IT A FIT! If you do opt to attend after the sample meeting, we expect you to join as a paying member for an annual dues of $40. If you pay that evening, you'll get credit for the $8 meeting fee for the evening toward your annual dues. Thank you!

This is a sister group of the Main Line Writers Group, held the third Wednesday of the month in King of Prussia. you can check it out and see what people think of it! https://www.meetup.com/Main-Line-Writers

We are all looking forward to seeing you!
