Milwaukee Writers Workshop

The Tool Shed, an adult erotic boutique on the East Side is offering an Erotic Writing Workshop for anyone interested in that particular venture. The owner asked me to post this here for those interested.

Saturday, February 28, 2 - 4 pm
Do you love erotica? Do you love to experience sex through the written word? Do you have a passion for words and writing? Writer Michelle Tucker will help you get started creating your own sexy stories and poems in this workshop. All are welcome, from experienced writers to those just starting out. Workshop participants will have a chance to read their works-in-progress at a public Adult Story Hour on Friday, March 6. FREE.

Hello everyone. Just your friendly update for the next meeting.

We'll be meeting March 1st at Bucketworks from 1pm-4pm.

This session's stories are "The Best Uncle in the World" by C.S. and "Why Did the Monkey Climb the Tree?" by Jenn Turner. Please visit the Google group (link to the right) to get the stories, as we're still working on getting the Story Upload function back on the site.

This upcoming Sunday we'll be doing Steve's story, "Mr. Kline's Goddamn Apples", which is a part of a larger work that's written episodically. I will also be filling the gap with one of my own short stories, entitled "The Pod Village of San-Zhr". I will upload it in just a little while. It's relatively short, so I hope it's not a terrible inconvenience being so close to Sunday.

Also, please remember that we're at a new location at Bucketworks. There are directions on both their site and our "Locations" section. Please let me know if you have any questions.

Hello everyone,

We'll be meeting on February 1st, which is next Sunday. For that meeting we'll be at Anodyne (not the library). If you have questions, please let me know.

Also, we'll be reading Kory's flash fiction piece "Solid Soup" and Greg's piece "Smaze's Science Project".

I'd like to also go over some of the material I worked on at the end of the session last time regarding the submission process. For those of you who'd like to participate (and didn't give me the applicable information at the group), please email me the following details: story title (make one up if you don't actually have one), word count, and a market you're intending the story to be geared toward. We'll be going over how to choose a market, how to send it out, and some of the more basic details. If you have a large envelope, please write your mailing address in the top left; also, bring a white envelope with your name in the "To:" space for the SASE. If you have questions, email me.

Lastly, we won't be having a committee meeting on Saturday. I didn't really get that much interest from anyone. However, if you'd like to show up a little early on Sunday (say noon), I'll be there discussing WriteCamp with Niki and Lyndzi. We can talk a bit about a committee meeting/committee there. Email me, please, if you're looking to come early, so I know for certain to reserve the room for that period of
time.

Thanks everyone.

Things are already rolling for Milwaukee's first WriteCamp. Niki, Lyndzi, and I had a productive meeting the other night discussing what it will be, what we'll need to do for it, and how we'll need to go about it. Our first order of business is to begin putting together a committee.

If you're interested in being a part of the planning committee for WriteCamp, please let me know. Being a part of this will require some significant amounts of time, especially as it comes closer to the date of the event. Those of you who are interested, please email me with the amount of time you're willing to put forth (in hours per week or even hours per month). I just need to know time commitments, so I can look into what positions can be filled right away.

Niki, Lyndzi, and I will be meeting weekly to discuss things, and I'll be setting up a mailing list for those interested in being a part of things. We hope to make this a great, new Milwaukee asset.
