I’ve spoken to several fellow writers over the last few months who have expressed the desire to be a part of a writing group. Most of these people have never attended a writing session and others haven’t found the right writing club to fit their style. Finding the right group for you is a little tricky, but in the end, it’s well worth it. Here are my tips for you:
My advice: Try it out. Small writing groups are personally my favorite. You can really develop close writing friends this way. Also, don’t be afraid to join a group that’s out of your comfort zone. Writing is writing. We share common interests and perhaps you can share a novel excerpt and they can give some good feedback. Hypothetical situation #2: This writing club is massive. From the look of things, the club is dominated by a fair few and everyone else sits back. My advice: Try it out. See what the group has to offer. Perhaps you’ll gain some ideas about possible writing prompts or maybe you’ll have the courage to share something in front of this large writing club. Getting a lot of a feedback is necessary for a writer.

As days tick down until the release of Speech of the Masquerade, I find myself getting more and more excited for the day when I finally hold my book of poetry in my hands. Each morning I wake up with unbelievable excitement for what is to come. This is probably normal for anyone publishing their first book, but for me, it's a absolutely extraordinary.
Now is the time to plan out my list of events for my Christmas break... I'll having a release party at Furman University on Dec. 10th and a release party on Dec. 18th at the Book Tavern in Augusta, GA. You can find the info at the following links: http://www.eventbrite.com/e/speech-of-the-masquerade-release-party-tickets-14328616277 http://www.eventbrite.com/e/furman-hosts-kendall-driscoll-book-launch-tickets-14354361281?ref=ebtnebtckt Stay up to date with me on Facebook or follow me on Twitter @Kdriscoll14255! Can anyone believe that the book is going to be released in exactly one month?
Meanwhile as the countdown continues, enjoy this wonderful article Furman covering my book! http://newspress.furman.edu/2014/11/kendall-driscoll-16-becomes-published-poet/ |
