For those of you who haven’t heard of the change, you may be wondering why I’m not saying, the conference begins.

Making stories out of newspapers | Portsmouth Writers Group
https://portsmouthwriters.wordpress.com/2015/03/19/making-stories-out-of-newspapers
News, information, and events for writers in Portsmouth, Virginia, USA. March 19, 2015. Making stories out of newspapers. The next time you pick up a paper, take a look at the briefs and see if any catch your eye. Jot them down for later (they really are very brief). Or clip some out to keep–as long as the paper belong to you! I don’t want anyone to get arrested for newspaper mutilation. Although that would make for an interesting brief. . .

Just five words | Portsmouth Writers Group
https://portsmouthwriters.wordpress.com/2015/02/19/just-five-words
News, information, and events for writers in Portsmouth, Virginia, USA. February 19, 2015. Can five words change your writing practice? I think they can. Several people in our group have brought up the five word writing challenges before. I think the group members heard about this on NPR. I’m not a regular NPR listener, so I am glad that it came up in the meetings. Thanks to my fellow writers, I have started several stories based on these writing prompts. So far I have:. Nuts, shelf, cereal, scarf, nib.

Free Writers Festival | Portsmouth Writers Group
https://portsmouthwriters.wordpress.com/2014/03/12/free-writers-festival
News, information, and events for writers in Portsmouth, Virginia, USA. March 12, 2014. As you may know, I am a big fan of writing conferences. I am not a fan, however, of their large price tags. Some of them cost hundreds of dollars! Christopher Newport University held their annual conference earlier this month. I think it is a real bargain compared to the cost of some conferences I have seen. It still may be out of the price range of some aspiring writers. So what is a writer to do? 6pm in NSC 138C.
