OK Everybody the plan is to host the 2014 Writing My Way Back Home: Midwest Veterans Writing Workshop 28-30 March at the Cedar Rapids Veterans Memorial Building. This is another FREE workshop

Willie and Emma are working up the classes and inviting the instructors...contact them directly

I am working on the rooms and food and starting the invitation process to the immediate world as participants. PLEASE Share with interested parties

Emma- how do you want to handle registration?

the facebook link is https://www.facebook.com/events/1398470500408883/ 

Open to all current and former military personnel, spouses, and teen dependents We each have a story to tell and the WRITING MY WAY BACK HOME weekend workshop will help you gain the tools and confidence to tell it well. By using reading and writing exercises to explore deployment and wartime experiences—the fear, the boredom, anxieties, thrills, brutality, tears and beauty—we learn how to write a story and make it compelling. Workshop participants will explore the many approaches possible to write about the self to produce personal stories, poetry, fiction and blogs by the end of the weekend. Opportunities to work one-on-one with professional writers during the weekend, as well as an online follow up, will help continue the writing and revision process.  No writing experience is needed to attend this workshop.  A public reading for course participants interested in reading excerpts from their work will complete the weekend.

Hello,

 

I don’t think I was supposed to get this. But, I thought of something that might help you all in the interim.

 

Have you guys thought about helping Vets via email with the resume writing assistance?  I know there are a lot of open wide fields between Veterans in Iowa and I am sure they would be more keen to reach out to you all in that manner. Have a buddy who is from up there and told me that one time.

 

Good luck with your project!
