And speaking of that...
We know you all are absolutely itching to get back to writing- and so are we!
We have begun the planning for our programs this summer, and we are very excited about what's to come! We are still finalizing the details, and we will get all the information to you all as soon as we can!
So check back soon for updates, details, and registration information!
In the meantime... how about some writing?! Here's an idea:
Take one of your absolute FAVORITE songs, and write a poem, a piece of prose, a paragraph, a story, ANYTHING that shares the title- but make it your own! Try to do something totally new with it!
Here's mine:
Early Morning Riser
Originally by The Weepies
Early morning riser
Opens sleepy eyes,
Heavy lids
Slowly
Inside, something is shouting
Awake!
Awake!
Though outside, nothing stirs
The peeling back of covers
Leads to the swinging of legs
As bare feet touch cool floor
Smooth wood
Coffee percolating on a slick countertop
Porcelain from the cabinet
Empty
Waiting to be filled
Sugar from the bowl,
Cream from the fridge
The first sip while walking to the porch
Perfect
The stillness of silence
A greeting
As the sun begins its ascension
Good Morning
-Erin Gilbert
Here's the real song, sung by The Weepies live, if you were interested!
