Craft Chat, Critique Workshop and End of NaNoWriMo Celebration
Whether or not you even participated in the tenth anniversary of National Novel Writing Month or won the challenge of writing 50,000 words in 30 days, it’s time to celebrate this momentous event! We’ll be having a pot luck this coming Sunday, November 30th from 1:00 to 3:00 pm at the Chico branch of the Butte County Library. RSVPs are required. Please leave a comment below if you haven’t already received an email invitation and would like to attend.
We’ll be writing more flash fiction as a writing exercise on Sunday after our last experience went quite well. Our topic for the craft chat will be the use of a metaphor to convey a theme. Be sure to bring your laptop and/or a pad of paper and pen along with you as we’ll be writing!
We also have 4 pieces to critique, a short story that came from a writing exercise and 3 poems. Chico Writer’s Group members have already received their copies and are expected to have read them, commented upon them and bring the printed out copy to our meeting to discuss and then return, with comments, to the original author. If you did not receive a copy but would like to attend, leave a comment here (be sure to use a working, valid email address) and we’ll confirm your reservation.

12:00 Noon – 1:00 PM Craft Workshop
We’ll be trying out a workshop using flash fiction where writers are given a topic to write on for a few minutes and then discuss. This should be a very fun activity!
After the exercise, we’ll discuss the focus of the writing exercise, a specific element of the craft of writing. A sure winner for all genres of fiction!

It’s free and a great way to keep abreast of upcoming events, activities and other features of the Chico Writer’s Group. There are two Chico Writer’s Group pages online at Facebook.
