Choose Your Words Carefully
Saturday 10/3/15
2:00-5:00 pm
Mark Twain said that the difference between the right word and the nearly right word is the same as that between lightning and the lightning bug. Storytellers of all skills and disciplines will benefit from this fun and insightful look at the language they choose for their creative writing. Participants will learn how to develop their own unique writing voice, how to use a thesaurus wisely, how to write powerful metaphors and similes, and how to avoid clichés. Presented by local author and writing instructor, Lindsay Schopfer. Sponsored by the Friends of the Tumwater Timberland Library. This event is part of Timberland Reads Together - a one book, one community reading program.

Making the Most of Your Writing Time
Saturday 10/10/15
2:00-5:00pm
“I only write when I'm inspired, and I make sure I'm inspired every morning at 9 a.m.” Learn how to turn off your inner critic and make the most of the time you set aside to practice your craft. Participants will learn how to create a writing-friendly environment, manage and prepare for their writing time and how to measure success rather than focus on artificial deadlines. Presented by local author and writing instructor, Lindsay Schopfer. Sponsored by the Friends of the Tumwater Timberland Library. This event is part of Timberland Reads Together - a one book, one community reading program.

Northern Network Meeting: October

Say WHAT??

One of the givens in a picture book is how well the illustrations match the text. But in some books the words say one thing while the pictures tell a whole different story. We’ll look at picture books where the text and illustrations do NOT match, creating a new level of depth to a story, then talk about ways to incorporate these apparent inconsistencies in our writing.

Date: Wednesday, October 7, 2015

Time: 7:00 p.m.

Location: The Bellingham Barnes & Noble (4099 Meridian Street, Bellingham)

Questions? Call Rebecca Van Slyke at (360) 354-5797, or email her at rebecca_vanslyke@hotmail.com. [That’s rebecca(underscore)vanslyke(at)hotmail(dot)com.]

Q: How GREAT was that CRITIQUE?

A: FABULOUS!!

 

Writers and illustrators gathered at Robinswood Park in Bellevue last Saturday, September 19th at noon for the 2015 Great Critique. They were asked to bring a lawn chair or blanket, a brown bag lunch and a dessert to share. Needless to say, there were more desserts than manuscripts! It seems as though our SCBWI-WWA members have some pretty sweet teeth.

The host with the most: GREAT CRITIQUE Coordinator Tony Dorough.

 

It was a warm, partly cloudy afternoon with no rain and numerous interludes of brilliant sunshine. About 32 participants divided into small groups, shared lunch and then took turns reading and offering critique and notes on each other's projects. The groups were facilitated by local, published authors, who offered advice and pointers and gave each person involved a chance to contribute feedback in a completely relaxed atmosphere. The event lasted until 4pm and everyone enjoyed a fun, literary end of summer afternoon. 

 

Janet Lee Carey pores over a manuscript.

 

Many thanks to our wonderful group leaders! They included: Janet Lee Carey (YA/MG), Helen Landalf (YA/MG), Lois Brandt (YA/MG), Wendy Wahman (PB), Meg Lippert (PB), and Tom Brenner (PB).  See below for some great group scenes!

Lois Brandt offers feedback in the park.

Helen Landalf listens, and her group learns.

1,2,3, cheers for moderator Wendy Wahman!
