Heads up, summer is almost over and fall awaits! The Potomac Valley Nature Writing Group meets this Sunday, August 30, 3:00 PM at Yankauer Nature Preserve (directions in sidebar at left).We do not have a designated group read to discuss, but at last meeting challenged ourselves to make a daily entry in our journals for the entire month of August.
Please bring your journals and any other nature writing you may have done in August. Read over your work and ask yourself these questions:
Please bring your journals and any other nature writing you may have done in August. Read over your work and ask yourself these questions:
- What are the themes that seem to reoccur?
- What types of things do I notice and write about? People, place, weather, bugs, plants, colors, smells, emotions, facts, etc.
- What did I learn about nature?
- About journaling?
- About writing and my own writing process? About myself?
Did you add anything else to your journal like pressed flowers,sketches, clippings, or photos?
If someone else was reading your journal, what conclusions might they draw about your relationship with nature?
We will share our answers at the meeting. Each member also was asked to bring a short excerpt from any author's work that provides inspiration for her/himself to write about nature. Bring any nature or writing/journaling related books or articles for "show and tell," to loan or pass on. Don't forget water and a camp chair. Lastly, bring a friend! New members always welcome!
Look forward to seeing you! Sandy aka Trillium http://trilliumtravels.blogspot.com/
