Lakeland Writers’ Connection usually meets the second Tuesday of each month. However, for the month of February, the group will meet on Tuesday, February 21. If you are looking for a writers’ group, you are welcome to join us!
ASSIGNMENT TO BRING:
Writing of your choice - article, poem, or short story (or part of a story).
It is a New Year. It is the first Monday of this year! I am excited as I look back at what Lakeland Writers Connection has accomplished over the past several months of the old year. It was our beginning but now I look ahead and anticipate each of you being involved in the pursuit of writing.
Here’s a challenge for the January meeting. Your assignment: Decide on a resolution for this year - not one that you know will be easily broken or forgotten. One that will challenge you. (It can be in any area.)
1. Write the resolution in the following format.
a. State in a complete sentence a specific resolution. ex. For the year 2012, I will....
b. Tell why you want to make that resolution. ex. By making this resolution, I want to...
c. Detail why this resolution is important to you and the significance. ex. For this past year, I have....but this year I will....because....
d. Explain how the outcome would affect you and those around you. ex. My resolution will benefit me and my family (or whomever)...
2. Format your writing by using Times Roman 12 font, double space.
3. Make sure your name is at the top.
4. Article should not be more than 300 words.
Set goals for yourself. Write to express your thoughts. Write to inform. Write to entertain and add humor to our lives!
Writing with the Right Connection.
