September 21st Meeting
Last night, in honor of the season premiere of The Office, Word Pirates thought about work. The prompt was to write about a character in a strange job OR remember a strange/odd job you have held and write about it. For inspiration, we listened to part of David Sedaris’s Santaland Diaries, about his stint as a 33-year-old department store elf at Macy’s. You can listen too here.
In addition to the prompt, we talked about our new Interview Series and whether we should have a meeting at Robin’s winery or not. After the meeting, we watched The Office, because Word Pirates are cool like that.
The next meeting is October 5 at 7 p.m.-ish. We will be thinking about what a story is, exactly. Why do we write? When is something a story? What should happen in a story? Think about it, Word Pirates.
Until then,
Joy
