Writers Movement had the first meet & Greet chat today. Only 3 of us attended but the conversation was interesting and fun! Hopefully we get more to join us as time goes on but its a movement to be of great benefit to all writers and aspiring authors. This weeks topic was " Why do you write." We discussed our inspirations and motivations as writers along with other topics that brewed, like PS3 and Wii addictions ;-)
The writing challenge is to write, in 300 words, Why do you write from a 3rd POV. This challgenge is optional but for those that makes a submission will have that piece posted on the writers movement blog along with a link on how others can find you. Email your submissions to tminnis1981@gmail.com anytime before our next chat which will be Saturday June 5th at 6pm EST time.
See you in 2 weeks! Same time, Same place. Blessings!
An online community where writers and aspiring authors meet for chat, exchange of knowledge and ideas, and promotion. Join the movement on Twitter, first Saturdays each month at 6pm EST
