**🎨 Join The Offline Club at La Bonbonnière for a very special edition of our Crafts Club. A full day of creativity, wandering, and storytelling in the heart of Paris.**
Lock your phone away and spend a morning capturing your journey through creativity, guided by [Jeannette](http://www.jetsetwithjeannette.com/), an award-winning travel journalist who has explored 67 countries and is returning to Paris for a very personal full-circle moment.
Whether you're visiting Paris or living here, this is your chance to slow down, create something beautiful, and take a little piece of it home.
***
**What to expect:**
🎨 A hands-on creative session. You can journal, draw, collage, create in your own way
🗺️ A guided travel journaling walk through some of Paris' most iconic streets and gardens
📖 📖 Travel Journaling Workshop with [Jeannette Ceja](http://www.linkedin.com/in/jeannette-ceja)

💬 A laid-back space — no pressure, no notifications, no rush
🫖 Community vibes, warm atmosphere, and a show & tell to end the day
🇫🇷 🇬🇧 French & English friendly — all our events are bilingual, so you can comfortably speak either language
***
**The Program:**
**Part 1 — Crafts Club at La Bonbonnière**
**10:00 – 10:20** \| Arrive & Make Yourself at Home
**10:20 – 10:30** \| Introduction to the Day
Jeannette sets the tone and walks you through what's ahead.
**10:30 – 11:30** \| Solo Creative Time in silence
Journal, draw, collage, or create in whatever way feels right to you.
Supplies will be provided, but you can bring your own too if you'd like. No artistic skills required, just curiosity and openness.
**11:30 – 12:20** \| Connect & Create with Others

We'll wander together through the 5th arrondissement with no particular rush and nowhere else to be.
We'll chat, observe, embrace the city and then, without warning, we stop.
*What do you see right now? What can you smell? What's the sound in the background you almost missed? What does this street make you feel?*
Capture it however feels natural: words, a sketch, a polaroid. There's no right way to do it. [Jeannette](http://www.facebook.com/jetsetwithjeannette) will guide you through the art of noticing, the way only a travel journalist who has done this in 67 countries knows how.
Because here's the thing: **you don't have to be abroad to travel.** Sometimes the most extraordinary journeys happen in the city you think you already know.
**14:00 – 14:30** \| Show & Tell at Jardin du Luxembourg We gather one last time to share what we captured — a sentence\, a drawing\, a photo\, a feeling\.
A slow, warm ending to an extraordinary day.

**Meet Your Host — [Jeannette Ceja](http://www.jetsetwithjeannette.com/)**
[Jeannette Ceja](https://twitter.com/JeannetteCeja) is an award-winning bilingual travel journalist, television host, and global speaker with over a decade of experience covering travel across 67 countries.

She holds a degree in Journalism from Belmont University and completed the Professional Producing Program at UCLA.
But here's what makes this day extra special: Jeannette started her very first travel journal as a teenager — on a family summer trip through Europe that included a stop right here in Paris.

Build-a-blockbuster - An improv show in English
It's cinema... without a script.
Each night, the audience's ideas inspire four brand-new "films," performed live on stage. From epic fantasy to wacky westerns and painfully awkward rom-coms... you suggest it, the actors bring it to life!
After every round, the audience votes one story off the reel until only one survives... the blockbuster of the night!
Fast, funny, and unpredictable, this improv show turns movie magic into comedy mayhem.
The chaos is brought to you by Foreign Exchanged, a motley crew of international improvisers from all over the world — India, the US, Russia, Colombia, Lebanon, Moldova, France and beyond — making their way through Paris, one English faux pas at a time.
Come for the accents, stay for the laughter.

Writing for Youth Events This Week
Discover what is happening in the next few days
Ready-Set-Write Lazy Sunday edition (IN-PERSON): 11:00 Start Time
Hello writers, we are happy to meet you in our new permanent home: Bohème Coworking, located at 21 rue Sedaine in the 11th arrondissement.
When you arrive, just tell the friendly folks at La Boheme reception that you are with the writing group. They will give you a little wooden knick-knack with the wifi codes and a number that they use to determine the cost based on time spent (it's 3,80 € per hour, paid at the end).
***Now, about Ready-Set-Write! ..*.**
Ready Set Write! is a regular meeting of motivated writers who grab a beverage, then shut up and write.
***What it is:*** An opportunity for writers to get together and do short, intense bursts of writing. We write for 45-ish minutes, take a 15 minute break, rinse & repeat.
***What it is NOT:*** neither a forum for critiquing each other's work, nor shameless self-promoting your projects or groups.
You pay for the time you spend, and have access to coffee, tea, and wifi.
**AND FINALLY ...**
* Register in advance, and only if you will join us in-person.
* Update your RSVP if you cannot make it.
* Please be respectful and considerate with our writing colleagues.
***Stay tuned for location updates!***

Lyric writing exercises
Lyric writing weekly group practice.
A few object writing rounds to start, get our reps in — a favorite from the canon, Write Better Lyrics by P. Pattinson.*
Followed by other exercises.
I adapt the program depending on who shows up.
*Object writing : a noun picked through a random word generator, a 10 min timer to delve into our sensory imagination and free-flow with this prompt. We then take turn sharing.
Frapper l'Epopée - A. Zeniter // Le Procès-Verbal - J. M. G. Le Clézio
***Frapper l'épopée - A. Zeniter :***
"Alice Zeniter nous propose de suivre Tass, une professeure originaire de Nouvelle-Calédonie, de retour dans son archipel natal après une rupture amoureuse. Intriguée par la disparition de deux jumeaux kanaks parmi ses élèves, Tass se lance à leur recherche tout en étant confrontée aux réalités du mouvement indépendantiste et du passé colonial de la Nouvelle-Calédonie.
Les critiques louent la manière dont Alice Zeniter se sert des codes du roman colonial pour mieux déconstruire les mythes et les stéréotypes associés à la Nouvelle-Calédonie. Ils soulignent également la force de son récit et la richesse avec laquelle elle se propose de nous faire explorer l'histoire et de la culture de l'île" *(Le Masque et La Plume).*
***Le Procès-verbal - J. M. G. Le Clézio :***
*"Le Procès-verbal* de Le Clézio traduit, une expérience d’ordre intime voir d’ordre métaphysique. Quand l’esprit refuse d’accorder au monde la moindre cohérence, à la société le moindre intérêt, que perçoit-on, sinon une rumeur confuse, une succession indifférente d’images, un univers dissocié ? Certains s’en tiennent là, chantres d’un désespoir inéluctable, comme Samuel Beckett. D’autres vont demander à un « au-delà » ou à un « en deçà » des apparences l’enracinement dans l’Etre, le courant profond de l’existence. C’est à ces mystiques de « l’en deçà », qui refusent autant la vie et ses lois que les désespérés, qu’appartient l’auteur du *Procès-verbal "(Le Monde).*
**Présentations d'auteurs**
Adrien présentera Alice Zeniter et Grace présentera Jean-Marie Gustave Le Clézio, merci à eux!
**Inscription**
Ne vous inscrivez, s’il vous plaît, que si vous êtes sûr.e de pouvoir lire au moins une des deux œuvres et d'être présent.e le jour J.
Au plaisir de se rencontrer, débattre et discuter, autour d'un verre !

Atelier d’écriture du dimanche
Un événement pour se rencontrer entre femmes parisiennes qui écrivent ✍️
Faisons connaissance autour d’un thé ou café et parlons écriture(s), lecture(s) et inspiration(s) ! ☀️ Et n’hésitez pas à prendre vos ordis (chargés) ou carnets : nous allons écrire pendant une partie de l’après-midi !
Cycle Emile Zola - "Les Rougon-Macquart" V. 10 : "Pot-Bouille" (dîner littéaire)
Nous poursuivons le cycle consacré à Emile Zola et à sa série littéraire "Les Rougon-Macquart" avec le 10e volume :
**"Pot-Bouille"**
"Zola est entré partout, chez les ouvriers et chez les bourgeois. Chez les premiers, selon lui, tout est visible. La misère comme le plaisir saute aux yeux. Chez les seconds tout est caché. Ils clament : « Nous sommes l'honneur, la morale, la famille. » Faux, répond Zola, vous êtes le mensonge de tout cela. Votre pot-bouille est la marmite où mijotent toutes les pourritures de la famille.
Octave Mouret, le futur patron qui révolutionnera le commerce en créant Au Bonheur des Dames, arrive de province et loue une chambre dans un immeuble de la rue de Choiseul. Beau et enjoué, il séduit une femme par étage, découvrant ainsi les secrets de chaque famille.
Ce dixième volume des Rougon-Macquart, retraçant la vie sous le Second Empire, c'est ici la bourgeoisie côté rue et côté cour, avec ses soucis de filles à marier, de rang à tenir ou à gagner, coûte que coûte. Les caricatures de Zola sont cruelles mais elles sont vraies." Babelio
Pour la présentation d'auteur et le focus sur l'oeuvre :
\- Solène fera une présentation selon son choix ; choix qu'elle nous communiquera dès que possible\.
* Je fais le focus sur l'oeuvre.
Et n'oubliez pas !
Partagez, si sous le souhaitez, quelques mots, passages et/ou citations qui vous ont marqués, touchés, et qui vous semblent importants à partager avec le groupe et les participants.
Enfin, inscrivez-vous, je vous prie, uniquement si vous êtes sûrs d'être de la partie.
Bien à vous tous, bonnes lectures, et à bientôt !
Jélila
PS : la cotisation est de 2 euros par personne et par an, mais elle reste facultative et n'est jamais nominative (les frais dus à la plateforme sont de 240 euros par an).

Be it a book, blog, script, essay, dissertation, resume, melody, poem or just plain work stuff, you are invited to write it with us. No one will see what you've written or give you unsolicited advice. Instead of just thinking about writing, come and get some real writing done.
**SCHEDULE:**
6:45ish - Quick introductions
7:00 - Timer starts: write for 1 hour
8:00 - The End
**OPTIONAL SOCIALIZING** happens before and after the writing hour. Writing is very solitary. Connecting (and sometimes even commiserating) with other writers is a cool thing.
**BEING LATE IS OKAY:** just show up and get settled! If you were on time, please be willing to make room for the friendly latecomer.
Happy writing & I look forward to seeing you at Streetlight Guild!
**WHAT SHOULD I BRING?**
Whatever you need to be able to write! You're welcome to bring earplugs/headphones if noise will bother you!
**OTHER IMPORTANT DETAILS:**
* **RSVP:** Please RSVP by 6:00pm the evening of the meeting. This helps me know how many to expect, and if we'll need additional space!
* **COVID:** While masks are not required, please be mindful of the other writers around you and their comfort levels.
* **WIFI/OUTLETS:** Outlets are limited, so please ensure your devices are charged when you come! But Streetlight Guild does have free WiFi! Yay!
* **PARKING:** There is free public parking at Streetlight Guild.
Shut Up & Write! Kingsdale Shopping Center
Greetings writers! Come down and join your fellow wordsmiths for one hour of uninterrupted writing time in the upper level of the Market District Supermarket in Upper Arlington.
The main entrance of the shopping center opens onto stairs/elevator leading up to the 2nd floor cafe section where we will have a table displaying a sign with the Shut Up & Write logo.
Writing is largely a solitary craft. Practicing with others in a community setting may be the thing you need to fire your own routine.
We’ll meet on Wednesday evenings, starting the clock at 6:30, following a brief period of introductions. This is solid writing time and all inclusive. Any project is acceptable, be it fiction, non -fiction, work or homework assignment. All is welcome and will remain private to you.
The market boasts a Starbucks, a full service bar and various affordable food options. Parking is plentiful, free Wifi is provided as well as outlets for charging your devices, though they are somewhat limited, so plan accordingly.
Show up as early as you like, or stay late. This group tends to socialize some, both before and after the alloted time, but this is not mandatory to you. Feel free to come and go as you please and late arrivals are welcome.
The cafe may be noisy on occasion so headphones/ earbuds are reccommended as you see fit.
Please try to RSVP if possible so that we may grab enough seats for all—the venue can be busy at times.
Feel free to message me privately wth any questions and/ or concerns you may have.
Happy writing!
