Hello, Pennwriters!
I hope you've had an awesome August spent with people you love! It's hard to believe that the month is coming to an end, but it's that time again — time to RSVP — because the Inkwell meeting is next week.
Our September Inkwell meeting is next week on Tuesday, September 3rd, 2024! We hope you'll be able to join us in-person at Marzoni’s restaurant, 165 Patchway Road, Duncansville, PA 16635 beginning with dinner (paid for on your own) at 6:00 pm and our meeting and slideshow beginning around 7:15 pm. Topic: Yes And! Energize Your Writing and Creativity with Improvisational Comedy, led by Gretchen Martens.
This is going to be an interactive workshop and Gretchen has asked me to invite the Inkwell/Area 4 members to submit writing challenges that we’ll workshop together during the meeting. You can email her at Gretchen@GretchenMartens.com with your current writing dilemma to set up a time for a quick Zoom call so she can plan exercises for you to get the most value out of your time in the hot seat:
· Perplexed by plot? Your personal improv troupe will explore what might happen if your plot took an unexpected direction and we’ll co-create alternative plotlines.
· Confounded by a character? We’ll open creative approaches to reimagine your character and find new ways for your character to develop—physically, emotionally, intellectually, spiritually.
· Exasperated by environment? We’ll use improv techniques to build out your physical space where your personal improv troupe will help you see how your characters might interact with that environment.
First come, first served. If you don’t volunteer, Gretchen will do what every good improv performer does—make $hi!t up. (her words not mine)
How incredible is it for us to receive such individualized attention? Thank you, Gretchen!
