Come one, come all - whether you're new to poetry, or have been crafting for years, the Poetry Crew presents to you: http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v207/lupetrainer/poetrywk_zps7a5cb95c.jpg On Editing| Creating Beauty from Chaos Saturday, Jan 12th, 11:00:00 PM GMT Click here! for a nifty time converter. USA EST Saturday, Jan 12th, 6:00:00 PM CST Saturday, Jan 12th, 5:00:00 PM MST Saturday, Jan 12th, 4:00:00 PM PST Saturday, Jan 12th, 3:00:00 PM AUSTRALIA WST Sunday, Jan 13th, 7:00:00 AM CST Sunday, Jan 13th, 8:30:00 AM EST Sunday, Jan 13th, 9:00:00 AM Workshop will last approximately 60-90 minutes. This workshop will cover editing and revision in poetry with a focus on discussion and collaboration. This is about commenting and critiquing while writing, this is about organizing and shaping that chaos in your head to better suit you. This workshop isn't about reviewing poetry. This workshop is about YOU . It's not about learning how to write. It's about learning how to write like you, and learning how to teach yourself . ~ Paraphrased quote, thanks Richard Hugo! If you are interested on learning how to further your craft, please post below so we can know who is attending. In addition, please post a link of a past work of yours that you will like to edit. It can be a work you wrote two years ago, or one you wrote last week. But please only post ONE work. Even if you've never written a poem before, still attend ;) We've got something for you too! ------------------------------------------- Also recommended for you: Storybook Workshop! | Lyrics Contest | VDay Contest

Never forget who you are, for surely the world will not. Make it your strength. Then it can never be your weakness. Armor yourself in it, and it will never be used to hurt you.

I'll do my best to be there, but the timing might make it hard.

Excellent!

Now for those who can't be there because of time, no frets or worries. I've got something magical planned, but you must send me your poems

That said - don't all just ditch me now. Great fun awaits for those who can join the party ^_~

Any more last minute rsvp-ers?

Why so late for Brits?

I need my sleep too much. Hope to be able to make one soon.

I would have loved to actually come, but GoogleDocs wasn't agreeing with me. I kept getting an error telling me to refresh everytime I tried to type something. Was anyone else getting this issue?
