WRITERS COLLECTIVE OF CANADA Hello everyone, I attended another great WCC workshop with other writers this week. These are great exercises, I enjoy hearing what my fellow writers have to say. It's always an enriching experience. Thank you for stopping by as always the pleasure is all mine. Prompt : Write about an idol What was it about Devon? I knew him from high school, where everyone was his friend. He didn't have the reputation of a popular student, yet everybody felt like navigating close to him gave them a real sense of security from the bullies. By the way, I saw the transformation of quite a few bullies in the years Devon walked or graced our school corridors is more accurate. He was not known to take advantage of this status, the befriender of all. The shy girls or boys would come out of their shells when he waved at them often stopping by to show genuine interest in them. I kept observing from afar, too shy to speak to him upfront. Some students tried to find fault...

WRITERS COLLECTIVE OF CANADA Prompt: Write about something happy Hello everyone, I've been writing less lately; life gets in the way at times, but I'm not giving up. Today, the workshop was, as always, great. There are a lot of talented writers all over this big world. I'm so glad to take part in these inspiring workshops it's always a good feeling when I start and finish a workshop. We get so much inspiration; it is a community that helps me get my juices flowing.

WRITERS COLLECTIVE OF CANADA Saturday , July 20 2024 I am here this Saturday with the promise of a wonderful time ahead. As some of you may not know I have a mentally challenged daughter. She lives near here with a foster couple that takes care of her. She's been there since 2006. Why am I talking to you about her you ask? Well, in an hour or so I'll be leaving to pick her up so she can spend a few days with us. She loves it here and she loves to go back to her foster home which is very reassuring to me as a mom. This morning I had a workshop with the writers at WRITERS COLLECTIVE OF CANADA . We had great exchanges about everybody's inspired writing of the day. I did add the workshops of Wednesday, July 10, Thursday, July 18, and today July 20. So here I go, I hope you enjoy and thank you so much for stopping by, Wednesday July 10, 2024 2 DRAFTS Be courageous and write what scares you a little. -Holley ...

So here we go with a few short writing from these workshops with WRITERS COLLECTIVE OF CANADA As always, thanks for stopping by, Wednesay June 26, 2024 3 DRAFTS Prompt: Write to the line I am not done yet I'm bored, he said. How can you be bored when there are so many things to do. I'm not talking about household chores, she says. What about just sitting down and looking around you. You could explore something in your room, the house, or outside. Hm, I don't know Mom. I'm just so bored. By then she had left the kitchen. The child looks around in search of something. He's trying to make up his mind on this idea. He lands in the living room and notices old photo al...

WRITERS COLLECTIVE OF CANADA Wednesday, June 26, 2024 Hello there, Here I am with some new writing practices with the same online group Writers collective of Canada . I am finding these workshops more and more meaningful to me and my writing is benefiting from it also. This community is exceptional. It has no pretension but is the best place for a writer to open up and share what I have kept to myself for so long. The facilitators are another reason why I enjoy the workshops. They have a love of writing and sharing their talents with us. So here I go with the writing of a few workshops I participated in throughout the month. Thank you for stopping by, Tuesday, June 11,24 1 DRAFT Prompt: Must have been about scars we have, physical or within us The scar left from not being seen The scar left from not being heard These are scars that many carry throughout their lives At some point, one needs to be seen and heard We are human,...

WRITERS COLLECTIVE OF CANADA Sunday, June 09,2024 3 DRAFTS Hi there everyone, hope you had a great week. I had some more writing from yesterday's workshop yes it's from the WRITERS COLLECTIVE OF CANADA online. (Inspired by: What do memories mean to you? Write about someone's memory of a loved one.) They say memories with loved ones are the last to leave a person with dementia or Alzheimer's. No coincidence there I say. We as humans can connect with others inherently. So it's natural for us to keep people we love vivid in our brains. Mama used to talk about Dad a lot she would talk about how handsome he was dressed when he proposed. Sometimes she would make us laugh with the funny tricks she would play on him like putting shaving cream on his toothbrush before handing it to him. She giggled at how upset he would get but forgave her so quickly and she loved him as life itself. Later as Alzheimers ...
