BYOB and everyone can chip in on a pizza, unless someone has a better idea. <br />
<br />
Directions: Enter from 101 W 11th Street into the Crossroads Durango building (same entrance we use for our regular meetings.) Follow the west hallway and Room 100 directional signs. Turn left and connect into the Durango Office Suites historic building. Follow this hallway and the conference room will be on your right.</span></span>Wild Women Writinghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13711271715162965645noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-999577291966786753.post-66490749618814028182010-12-01T12:16:00.000-08:002010-12-01T12:16:35.974-08:00Reading on Dec. 7!!<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'times new roman', 'new york', times, serif;"></span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I turned fifty on October 8th.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I've made it a point for the last few years to do something cool<br />
for the folks on my lists on my birthday...and this year, between<br />
migraines, vertigo, launching Rebel Tales, and other things, my<br />
birthday just got away from me.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">But National Novel Writing Month starts November 1st, and I've also<br />
done something cool for those madmen and madwomen of writing, the<br />
NaNo'ers.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">This year, I'm combining the two.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">If you join either my fiction-writing course How To Think Sideways:</span><a href="http://howtothinksideways.com/members/?awt_l=4xO3h&awt_m=1aS2VuEHR6aXgP"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">http://howtothinksideways.com/members/?awt_l=4xO3h&awt_m=1aS2VuEHR6aXgP</span></a><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Or my How To Revise Your Novel course:</span><a href="http://clicks.aweber.com/y/ct/?l=4xO3h&m=1aS2VuEHR6aXgP&b=zTQgsW9mQVhY_CFQVlydNA"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">http://clicks.aweber.com/y/ct/?l=4xO3h&m=1aS2VuEHR6aXgP&b=zTQgsW9mQVhY_CFQVlydNA</span></a><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">AND if you do it ON or BEFORE November 1st, I'll give you a free<br />
copy of each of the following two video courses:</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">How To Motivate Yourself<br />
How To Write Subtext in Dialogue</span><br />

<br />
I want to let you know that extraordinary thinker and artist Rikk Morris has moved to the Durango area and is offering an exciting 5-week class on the deep meaning and power of art. I have been working with Rikk to get his ideas on paper and his work is truly profound. This is what we wish we had learned in art school. Rikk will be holding an informal discussion night on Tuesday, October 26, as a precursor to this class. I highly recommend Rikk's discussion night and/or class to anyone involved in the arts.<br />
<br />
Warning: this knowledge will change you fundamentally as a person! Rikk Morris has developed his transformative theory of the essence of art throughout a lifetime of service to art and to children. Come to the GroundUp Arts Collective on Tuesday, October 26 from 7 to 9 p.m. and join in a free preliminary discussion group of this exciting topic. Here are some of the issues that will be brought up in the group:<br />
<br />
"What is your role as an artist in society? How would it feel to have your art be in demand? Do you feel it is essential for you to do your own work? You MUST do your art because it is transformative!! Art is empowering and dangerous: it enables you to become the author of your own being. It is highly political because it teaches you to screen information. It is YOUR responsibility to make sense of what you see and hear in the world. This is much bigger than what we've called "art" till now. Art is the crack in the mental curtain between us and the Great Mystery. It leads us to discover the magnificent order behind all things. Art leaves us changed forever, as it reveals dimensions of being heretofore unimagined."<br />

</span></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: white;">The meeting will be held on the outdoor patio of the Crossroads Building (with heaters available) and we do have a back up room in case of truly inclement weather.

We will hold this new meeting on the first Wednesday of each month in Durango Office Suites, Conference Room 100, (just down the block from the Crossroads Building) from 6:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. This will be a gathering of writers for the purpose of brainstorming, inspiration and camaraderie. If you can't make it on time, come when you can; if you can't stay for the whole meeting, that's Ok, too. The use of the bigger conference room facilitates the unstructured format of the meeting, allowing groups to break off and pursue a thought or discussion of their own making.<br />
<br />
That being said, due to scheduling conflicts, our first "Social Meeting" will actually be held on the first Tuesday, October 5th, and will be held on the outdoor patio of the Crossroads Building (with heaters available) and we do have a back up room in case of truly inclement weather. Elise and I will be hosting this inaugural meeting and will serve a few munchies and supply water and soda. If you would like to bring anything else to drink, feel free... BYOB.<br />
<br />
The outdoor patio is on the third floor of the Crossroads Building, half way down the hall to Conference Room 308. Take a left down the short hall and out the door. Please RSVP to this email and we hope to see everyone there. If you need any information or further directions, don't hesitate to contact me.<br />

We will be at the Crossroads Center, 1099 Main Avenue, in Conference Room 308. </span></div><div style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: white;"><br />
</span></div><div style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: white;">Special guest Judy Hook will be joining us to discuss our upcoming participation in a series of literary readings at the Durango Public Library. Several members of our group attended the session last night on "Women of the San Juans" and we were able to meet Judy in person after the presentation. Our slot is coming up Tuesday, December 7, 7 to 8 p.m. Please plan to participate! We will be presenting one hour of readings, of our original poetry/prose. I'd like you to think NOW about what you want to share with the group, and bring it with you on Wednesday so we can hear it (this will give everyone some practice). </span></div><div style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;"></div><div style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: white;">FYI- Our next few meetings will be VERY focused on this event. I want to present our best work, and give them a professional, polished reading. We can do it!!! But we will need to focus, plan, and prepare. Please plan accordingly, and come prepared to participate! Each participant will have about 10 minutes to present her work, if 6 people from the group read. If you're not planning to read, please come and give our brave readers some moral support. </span></div><div style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;"></div><div style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: white;">We've been talking about doing something like this to take our work to the next level- ladies, here's our chance! Last night, there was a nice crowd, probably 60-75 people in the audience. They were very open and enthusiastic about the performance, and I'd like to give them a real treat. If you are planning to come to this meeting, and you want to participate in our reading in December, please RSVP to Molly at </span><a href="http://webmail.durangoherald.com/enterprise/lang/en/Forms/MAI/read.aspx?ID=8F5A371EE7FD407AA831CF587CE66221.MAI&Folder=\Inbox&Charset=abcdef#"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: white;">stealingplums@yahoo.com</span></a><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: white;"> so she can get a head count. </span></div><div style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;"></div><div style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: white;">We will also have Anna Barendt speak to the group briefly at the end of this meeting regarding some nanowrimo events and issues. She is looking for help and possibly someone to co-ML with her and help set up events. </span></div><div style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: white;"><br />

We will also be discussing the option of having two meetings per month - one would be a writer's salon for writing chat and being social; the other meeting, held on the third Wednesday of each month, would continue to be a more focused meeting, with readings and prep for our upcoming event in December, and then our regular reading and critique sessions will be reinstated in January after the reading. There has been some interest in this; please come prepared to make a decision on Wednesday about the possibility of meeting more often.</span></div><div style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: white;"><br />

</span></div><div style="color: #474747; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: white;">Also, I've just been contacted by poet Beth Paulson, who will be in our town in mid-October. She is interested in doing a reading from her newest book just for Wild Women Writing. It would be outside our regular meeting time, on the evening of Friday, October 15, 6 to 8:30ish. She has said she will do this free of charge if we can find a space for it, and if we'll publicize it. If you can attend a reading like this, please contact Molly at </span><a href="http://webmail.durangoherald.com/enterprise/lang/en/Forms/MAI/read.aspx?ID=64E2BF4E689B461B8D5CF7CE5817D06D.MAI&Folder=\Inbox&Charset=abcdef#"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: white;">stealingplums@yahoo.com</span></a><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: white;"> and let her know. If you have ideas for a suitable space, or can offer additional publicity through posting it on your own blog, tweeting, etc., please get in touch with Molly as well. Trying to get a response ASAP- let me know by Friday of this week at the latest whether or not you want to attend. I think it's an amazing opportunity to support a fellow poet- what say you??</span></div>Wild Women Writinghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13711271715162965645noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-999577291966786753.post-96873244482622142010-09-03T10:34:00.000-07:002010-09-03T10:34:59.840-07:00Poetry submissions being accepted<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'times new roman', 'new york', times, serif; font-size: 16px;">Hello everyone,</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'times new roman', 'new york', times, serif; font-size: 16px;"><br />

</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'times new roman', 'new york', times, serif; font-size: 16px;"> Poems that are fairly brief have an edge over longer poems.

</div><div style="font: 12.0px Times New Roman; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 4.8px;">"When Stephen Dunning's <i>Reflections on a Gift of Watermelon Pickle</i> was published in the 1960s," writes Hank Kellner, "it quickly found its way into classrooms nationwide. Today, more than forty years later, this unique collection of 114 poems accompanied by black and white photographs still enjoys a great deal of popularity with students and teachers.</div><div style="font: 12.0px Times New Roman; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 4.8px;"><br />
"Because 21st Century students are more visually oriented than ever before," he continues, "the combination of poems and photographs is a very powerful teaching aid." Kellner points out, also, that astute teachers have discovered that by combining poems with photographs they create a stimulating environment that provides inspiration for writing. "Few students," he adds, "fail to respond positively to the marriage of graphic images and written images."<br />
<br />
For a work-in-progress that will combine photos with poetry, Kellner is on the lookout for original poems by students in Grades 7-12 and up. "I'd also like to include poetry by teachers and other adults," he concludes.

</span></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 16px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">I have just received a call from Judy Hook, who is in charge of some programs at the Durango Public Library. She would like our group to do a public reading in December! </span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 16px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">It's an adult audience, usually composed of anywhere from 8-80 folks from the community. </span></span></div><div><br />
<div style="font-size: 16px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"> </span></div><div style="font-size: 16px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">The first Tuesday of each month, they will have a series of readings in the downstairs program room, 7 to 8:30 p.m., beginning next week, Sept. 7, with "Women of the San Juans." She suggested we attend a reading or two before our gig in December, just to get the feel of the room. I'm going to try and go next tuesday, Sept. 7. </span></div><div style="font-size: 16px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br />
</span></div><div style="font-size: 16px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">So-is anyone here free to join me? All we have to do is listen the first few times, maybe say hi to the organizers and schmooze a bit.</span></div><div style="font-size: 16px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"> </span></div><div style="font-size: 16px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">At the gig, in December, we will be reading all of our own original work!!!! We will not be using mikes, so in upcoming meetings we are going to practice projection and presentation techniques to get everyone feeling confident and ready to go. December is open, and I immediately snagged the spot for us!!! It's the first Tues. in December, 7 to 8:30ish. Short fiction, poetry....she sounded open to anything. Such a nice gal. I have invited her to our September meeting on Sept. 15, so we can get the down and dirty then, but I wanted to write and give you all the news of this amazing and fab opportunity!!</span></div><div style="font-size: 16px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 16px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Is it writing or is it art? This one-day workshop is for writers and artists interested in working with text off the page. Poet/artists Nance Van Winckel, Renee Rossi and Christy Ferrato challenge the boundaries between writing, music, visual art, installation, and performance art, as they explore the cross-genre application of text. Unique ways to approach this work will be discussed, and there will be several hands-on-activities for participants to explore, investigate and work on their own text off the page creations.</span></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 16px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 16px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">On Friday, Sept. 10, there will be a reception and poetry reading at 7 p.m. </span></span><br />

</span></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 16px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The workshop is in conjunction with the 'Cities on the Side Exhibition' at the Art Library opening on Sept. 10.</span></span><br />

Let me know!<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: white;">At our last meeting, we discussed the possibility of meeting twice a month for an extra dose of inspiration. I propose that we meet the first and third Wednesdays of each month. </span></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: white;"><br />
</span></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: white;">One proposal is that the first meeting of the month would perhaps be more of a social gathering, writers networking, maybe doing some fun writing activities, and chatting, sharing resources, etc.- more informal and fun - with the third Wednesday remaining as our reading/critique night. </span></span><br />

Word Journeys:<br />
Getting your creativity and words rolling with Renee Podunovich<br />
<br />
Start the day at lovely Willow Tail Springs with guided imagery, a mini-vision<br />
quest and writing prompts designed to help you settle into your own voice and<br />
the property and to get your creativity flowing. Writing prompts will be paired<br />
with several guided inward journeys followed by a solo outward journey onto the<br />
property. Participants will share their experience and words in small groups and<br />
explore how our writing can elevate our personal experience of things (for<br />
example art) to touch the lives of others in a meaningful way.<br />
<br />
