Success story
Greg Neri
I had the pleasure of meeting Greg, a local author, at Temple Terrace library. He shared his inspiring journey with us, which I found truly captivating. His website offers valuable insights into his transformation from a movie producer to a talented story writer. Intrigued by his story, I reached out to Greg, inviting him to join our creative writing group at the library. Years ago, he attributed much of his success to being a part of a writing group, and I believe his presence would greatly enrich our community.

Benefits of a BAD read
Majority of our group agreed that its best not to continue reading a badly written book. Until Kathy commented "I keep leaving the book then getting back to it" we all turned to her waiting for the explanation. She smartly added "I keep pushing myself to read it to know what not to do in my books" waw, we were all impressed.

I wrote this for me
Sometimes you may just want to write for you. No aim to publish nor share. Its just like artists too, sometimes they produce an art piece, and they decide to keep it. "this one is for me, not for sale". I love the concept, like keeping intermit stuff. Call it, your personal collection, or production.
Morning Memories
Idea to write
By Beth
Beth, from our creative writing group, shared, that sometimes when she wakes up, she remembers things, situations, people, all kinds of memories, she sits down and write them, will be like writing your history, your history.
Similarly, a lady wrote "Flash Memoires", short stories less then 1000 words, then collected them and published them in a book.

Blackout
Idea to write
By Jenny Hill
Jenny from our creative writing group, shared a method to help finding words to write. Its simply to find any publication, a newspaper, two pages of a book, anything at all. Read it, circle the words you like. At the end, put them down and use them, put them aside the same sequence, then play with them, to get a new writing.

Books to inspire writing
Creative daily prompts
The result can even be memoirs
Writing muse is now available in different kinds and shapes. they come in 365 pages books or even online, all to help us write, jog our memory.
Those two books below are a perfect example. I found on ebay, lower than 5$ each, free shipping, click the links below to go directly check their prices - "This book will change your life" on ebay - "The write-brain workbook" on ebay Or check out the online version of something similar, even better, at StoryWorth.com, it provides a weekly prompt to urge you write, and will print your book at the end of your subscription year. Before printing your book you will have to pay about 90$ extra fees. the quality is very good. |
Free Online Courses
Writing, Editing, Publishin
And much more
Free and paid online courses are so popular these days. I'm familiar with Udemi and Linked in. Both have free courses, but the great news is that through HCPLC.org, you get free access to Linked in paid courses, all you need is you library card number and your pin code, the last 4 digits of you phone number, in addition to many other platforms. You will get a finishing certificate but without your name.

Free online Audio recorder
One of the best ways to evaluate your writing, is to listen to it. Open one page, click record, then read. You can save it, send the link for others to listen to your writing, then give you feedback. Vocaroo is a free online tool, keeps your recording up to 3 months only, very helpful for many purposes.
