Great River Writes – September Winona Writers Group Meeting

Monday | September 19 | 1-3 pm
Winona Public Library | 151 W 5th St.

Great River Writes Critique Group
Where everyone is welcome to listen and share.

Our next meeting is Monday, September 19 from 1-3. Please note the day and time! We’re hoping this schedule will work better for our participants.

We’ll be in Winona Public Library, in the meeting room right off the Art Room, where the CD’s and DVD’s used to be.

Bring a copy of your writing that you wish to share (up to 2000 words). Optionally, bring 5-8 extra copies to share with participants. The library staff no longer can make copies for the group.

As always, feel free to use the prompts below, change them, or ignore them and write your own idea. We will read aloud, then share verbal comments and suggestions.

September Prompts:

1. Go someplace you can sit and listen, maybe a café or mall, maybe a bench by the lake… you choose. Close your eyes and listen for a few minutes. Try to identify the sounds you hear. Then write about what you noticed.

2. Rachel Field wrote a poem in which she said, “something told the wild geese that it was time to go…” Use this line as a prompt for a story, a poem, or an article.

Great River Writes and the City of Winona are partners of River Arts Alliance.
