Raw Pages is a monthly writing circle where fiction and CNF writers can come together to share their “raw” writing in an open, nonjudgemental, nurturing environment.
The title “Raw Pages” comes from the photography world where the artist has the option to shoot “raw” leaving their work opportunity to be more flexible to future editing.
This group has evolved into a circle where writers have 5 minutes each to share a work of CNF or fiction that is new, unedited, and not yet ready for critical feedback. This an opportunity to share work with others and swap ideas about writing that is still in the planning stages and needing encouragement. So far there is a cast of writers who have come to know each other and the writing their peers are currently working on. We always welcome new folks!
Bring a piece of writing that is 5 minutes read out loud, feel free to bring some copies if you want others to read along while you read out loud. Please bring pen and paper for notes as well as for a writing prompt given by Daniel at the end. We ask writers to come prepared to give positive and nurturing feedback to each other. We also ask for playfulness and the ability to find joy in the writing process as well as take things seriously!
