Hi friends &
writers,
For
June, I’m trying something new: as “The Tuesday Writer” is based in the
Northwest (Boise), the venues offered during this month will all be regional.
Sometimes there is something to be said for writing – and sending out – local.
Happy trails,
e
PROCESS: NEWS IN THE WRITING ROOM
Once a week my daughter’s school has “News,” a sort of show &
tell where the toddlers bring inside something from the outside world: a
pinecone, a leaf, a cicada shell, an oddly shaped stone, a surprising fruit. I
love the idea of bringing “news” into the writing studio – natural objects that
are concrete, tangible, and a reminder to write images that are hard enough to
break a nail on.
Try this:
Bring sensory bits of “news” into your writing room, and find ways to weave
them into the stories you are telling.
FEATURED VENUE: OREGON COAST MAGAZINE
Although they do not accept fiction or poetry, Oregon Coast Magazine is open to stories
of regional interest between 450-3000 words – quite a range to fit most good
personal travel stories about back roads, beachcombing, restaurants, nature,
and community. Sending work here could be an opportunity to turn a weekend trip
into published writing.

cicatrix (a new tissue that forms over a wound). (10min)
