… Session Format • We begin with a prompt exercise and write for 15 minutes. Writers who are comfortable doing so read what they’ve written. • Each of us tells the rest of the group what kind of feedback we’d like and reads the piece we’ve brought. • We then go around the table and provide the writer with our comments. Group Structure We hope to grow into a group of four to six writers. We feel more comfortable with a closed group than an open one. So, most likely, after the 2nd session, w …

… These gifts are not available only to those who meet a certain standard of achievement as writers. They are available to all who write, because they come about through the process of writing, rather than as the result of a finished product. Understanding that the real goal is that unfolding, that flowering-forth of the self – and that the writing, when it comes, is simply gravy – can help us make a very important change in our personal process. Rather than putting pressure on ourselves, we can …
