The Writing Barn decided to challenge WB friends and members of the “Write. Submit. Support” group to describe the creative writing process in 140 characters or less.
Sounds difficult, right? Here are some of the well-thought responses we received.
Bethany Hegedus, Writing Barn Founder & Author
Connect to self. Connect to world. Rinse. Repeat. Revise. Connection is what matters.
Julie Ann Mullen Hartman, Write. Submit. Support Alum
Dream. Imagine. Listen to the muse. Let your heart connect. Write.
Rewrite. Dance with your words. Rewrite again. Share with the world.
Erin Lee Golden, Write. Submit. Support Alum
Read a lot. Write a lot. Revise a lot. And believe a lot, mostly in yourself.
Your stories matter. Your truth matters. The world needs your words.
Gogi Hale, Write. Submit. Support Alum
A seed, an idea, a character intrigues you. You spend months thinking about her, them, they in your world and the truth they dare to speak. Be brave! Plow on despite your fears.
Nancy Miller Barton, Write. Submit. Support Alum
Entertain. Educate. Engage. Minimum of two.
