that is really cool. what will your workshop consist of, like, the breakdown of info and stuff? i'm just curious.

good luck recruiting!!

thx!

we're going to do 2 exercises, both launching off of the movie we'll be watching, which is "the witness."

the first will be a group exercise to get people warmed up, having fun, and non-writers can see that they can write. we'll be taking print material (probably some TVA Lifelines newsletters), picking out juicy phrases, and stringing poems out of them.

the second will be a more personal exercise, where people will explore their feelings on the movie (or anything they want to write about) and go through as many of my 15 steps to poetry writing that we can get through.

I find it both strange and amusing that I actually go to this school, but I found about this event through livejournal.

lol! the internets: provider of all information.

a friend once was complaining that he found out a girl broke up with him through livejournal. the internet knew before he did. ;)

hey, would you mind printing out a copy and posting it in a few places at your school? i can send you a bigger/better one if you need it.....

I wouldn't mind at all, but I'll tell you what; I'll tell the founder (head person...thing?) of ROAR to e-mail you?

I would just feel weird getting mixed in their stuff. It's nothing personal/not my own laziness, I swear! :)
