| LIWG Writing Workshops |
| During a writing workshop,
writers read their works-in-progress, and other members offer constructive
critiquing. The writing workshops are an excellent forum for improving
writing skills while enjoying the community of other motivated writers. |

Workshop Format

|
|
I. Introduction
|
| Guild members give a brief introduction
of themselves and any news they would like to share. |
|
|
II. Creative Writing
|
Topics for creative writing
are presented and members write silently for 10 minutes.
Come join us for "Magic Paper"
and the writing exercises! |
|
|
III. Presentation and Critiquing
|
| Guild members can share with
the group the creations they've just penned, or works that they've
brought with them. Members often read from poems, novels, or short
stories in-progress.
We have three key rules when
we critique:
1) Whenever you are discussing
writing you are addressing someone's soul (or soul's creation).
Therefore, respect it.
2) Each writer/member can read
approximately six pages of his/her work, or for six minutes.
3) Listen/Look for the good
(phrasing, imagery, dialogue) first, and learn.
The Presentation and Critiquing
portion of the workshops offer writing lessons as each piece is
discussed.
