Welcome to the July session for Winnipeg Creative Writing!
I'm reading a book called, My Biggest Mistake, by Terry O'Reilly and it got me thinking of this for a writing prompt: Write about a mistake - small or large - that changed the trajectory of a person's life, or history at large.
Agenda:
1. Share what you came up with based on the prompt.
2. Discussion: What are some other stories/ideas you've heard or came up with about "Epic Fails and Silver Linings"? How do characters cope with positive reversals? Do you lean towards happy endings or not, and what does closure look like if in an unhappy ending?
3. Share any other writing you'd like to bring in.
*Hosting this one at Kildonan Park, but if the weather is adverse, I'll try get us a spot at Sir William Stephenson Library as a back-up for that time slot, or we can meet at a coffee place if numbers are low.
