First writer's workshop: what to bring

This Thursday, starting at 5:30, I'll be hosting the first of three writing workshops at the Merril Collection (actually, in the basement of the Lillian H. Smith branch where the library is located).  These workshops are full up now, but if you're interested you can still call the library to get put on a waiting list.

In any case, pretty well everybody who's signed up has asked what they should bring.  Here's my suggestion:

• A notebook and pen
• Any notes, scraps of paper with scribbled ideas, and unfinished short stories or outlines that you may want to work on.  This is a creativity workshop, so the idea is to unblock our minds and look at how ideas evolve from a nascent stage all the way up to solid story plans.
• Your imagination.

That's it.  We'll be doing some exercises, but also we'll be just talking about the writing process and about how to organize your time, your thoughts, and your creative planning to get from idea to published work.  I'm looking forward to it and hope to see you there!
