Dubuque Area Writers Guild Meeting

Join us for the second DAWG meeting of December.

If you'd like to share your work, please bring 7-10 copies to pass around and try to limit submissions to 1000 words or 2 poems. If you'd prefer not to submit, we'd still love to have you come listen and participate in the process of providing constructive feedback. If you're looking for a prompt this month, here's an option (slightly modified) from Poets & Writers magazine as part of its "This Is Now" section:

Holiday Party

Whether full of work mixers, gatherings with relatives, community-centered potlucks, or festivities with friends, this time of year is often busy with social events of all kinds. This week write a short prose piece or poem that revolves around a seasonal get-together. Perhaps there are pressures present associated with themes that surface around the end of the year, such as the winter blues, religion, childhood traditions, and social expectations. Are your scenes of holiday gatherings imbued with an atmosphere of joy and cozy lights, or chilly temperatures and disappointed hopes, or both? Have fun adding a dash of humor or menace into your convivial gathering.

Write on!
