NOW PLAYING July 3 - July 9
On July 14, from 2 to 3:30
p.m., the Creative Crones
Writers (CCW) will host a
presentation in the Bromley
Room at Siuslaw Public
Library.
Budding or experienced
writers are invited to attend
and learn tips and tricks for
creating your own writing
group.
Six local women have been
meeting as a bimonthly group
since 2010. Members are:
Pattie Anderson, Jacquie
Beveridge,
Denise
Dee,
Barbara Giles, Mary Nulty and
Sharon Stiles.
The ladies all attended one
or more of the memoir writing
courses taught by retired edu-
cator Barbara Giles. Two class-
es were at Lane Community
College and four were
held at Florence Unitarian
Universalist Fellowship.
In the classes they learned
terminology, tools to get start-
ed, writing a draft, editing,
revising, final editing and
completing the final product.
Most importantly, they also
learned to support one another
as writers, providing and
receiving constructive feed-
back.
It was the constructive feed-
back that motivated them to
form their own group and
encourage each other to write.
As involved members of the
Florence community the CCW
benefit from the commitment
to meet and share writing twice
a month.
The encouragement and
support of the group inspires
them to keep creating.
In the July presentation, the
CCW will share their history,
time schedule, critiquing,
retreats, the value of the group
and prompts to generate inspi-
ration.
They will also briefly share
pieces they’ve published.
