Writers' Morning Out, January 18, 2020

“Do something today that your future self will thank you for.” – Anon.

WMO meets at 1 p.m. on January 18th in the http://greekkouzina.com/ backroom in Pittsboro. The NCWN sponsors WMO. Carol Phillips heads WMO.

 The 2020 WMO theme is “Inspiration.” Together we’ll inspire each other to writing greatness (or, at least, mediocrity).

January is “Setting Goals.” How do you set goals? How do you manage them? How do you track them? Are you overly ambitious or underwhelming in your perceived efforts? (Rick is always overly ambitious.) Come talk about goals and goal setting and excuses you will use.

February is “Five Focal Points.” Goals check, and then we’ll recap 5 critical inspiration sources, which every writer needs to maximize: prompts (use them to your advantage), genre (understand the requirements), experimentation (leaving your comfort zone, POV (are you using the best one?), and a writer’s life (do you help or subvert your efforts).

March is “a General Discussion on Problems and Inspirations.” Carol will lead a discussion about issues you may be having and/or things that are inspiring you or that you wish to share with others. “Let’s get pumped up.” Watch this YouTube video now.
