W-O-R-Dz written by Angello Pizarro

MWA is proud to begin with a new light, new energy and creative positivity & possibilities– and so we start off 2010 with this Limited workshop for those serious writers who wish to use this new year as a creative springboard!

We plan to begin with a focus on the actual process of the written word. This Workshop is limited to 12 writers (So sign up quickly) who want to improve, share their work with other creative literary minds, and through positive feedback, feed the writer’s spirit that resides in all of us.

LE CAFE: Free wifi available if you want to bring a laptop. Good Food…and of course, good coFFEE.. =)

PLEASE: RSVP if you plan to attend.
Space is limited to 12 participants.
Bring 12 copies of work so everyone can read along.
Limit to 5 double-spaced pages.

GUIDELINES FoR GIVING FEEDBACK: We strongly encourage you go through this list a few times before the workshop so that we can have a good productive discussion session.

José Javier Rodríguez I had trouble writing some days. Others I would mull over ideas with no inspiration. And I felt so alone. I didn’t know there was help for my condition. But that’s when my doctor told me about Critique Sessions (from the makers of MWA). Side effects include staying an hour and a half later than scheduled…cuz it was tha…t good we couldn’t leave! In truth, for me, Thursday’s critique session was like writers’ church. I gave a little and got tenfold back. Great work. Great people. Feedback was spot-on (as long as we stuck to the guidelines). Mel: that’s fantastic you got out there – when are you holding a friendly pre-screening!? Johnny thanks for the link and Adam in particular for letting me download your perspective/knowledge! And as for Angello…don’t worry man I’m sure there’s a pharmaceutical out there for that schweatiness…

Johnny Tsokos It was great spending the evening with you guys, sharing creative ideas and of course feedback on some great works… and of course some good laughs. Looking forward to seeing you all soon. Jose, this Nut Graf’s for you…ha! http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nut_graph

Melanie Feliciano Hey Johnny Tsokos, Adam, Angello & Jose! What a great writing critique last night at Le Cafe. Thanks for the feedback on my script, “Wish of the Urban Mermaid.” You saw so much more in it than I did! We’re gonna start shooting some scenes this afternoon. See y’all at the next critique. Time and place TBD. ;-D
