I’m really surprised and pleased with how many of you wonderful people have jumped at the idea of forming a Writers Club. So far, 17people have signed up, which is just fantastic. I can’t guarantee I will be the most attentive of group administrators but I will do my best. The main idea I have behind this is to offer inspiration and support to each other without any pressure to perform.
With that, here are the ground rules, as I see them:
1. Have fun
2. No time limit for any stories
3. No obligation to participate in every round
4. Have fun
5. No prizes, other than advice, support and kudos from like-minded people
6. No petulance, tantrums or hissy-fits
7. Everybody will have a chance to provide a suggestion
8. Oh, yeah, and HAVE FUN
I am waiting to here back from Administration about the problems I am having setting up the blog group, but as I’ve had such a wonderful response so far, I thought I may as well get everyone’s creative juices flowing. So, here is the suggestion for the first official JU Writers Club assignment (for the want of a better word):
“The most beautiful thing we can experience is the mysterious. It is the source of all true art and all science. He to whom this emotion is a stranger, who can no longer pause to wonder and stand rapt in awe, is as good as dead: his eyes are closed."
- Albert Einstein
So, away we go. I do hope I haven’t made it too hard for anyone. Remember, the quote is only supposed to provide inspiration and inspiration, being a changeling, can take any form it desires. "
