1st wednesday events
InPrompt2
Hosted by Laura Kepner
September 4, 2019
Doors open 6:30 pm Show at 7pm
What's the strangest, oddest, weirdest experience you've ever had? Do you still think of that moment or that thing that happened to you that you were never able to explain? We want to hear it in the form of a story, song or poem. You get up to 7 minutes at the mic. One project per person, please.
InPrompt2 happens every first Wednesday of the month. Some people feel intimidated by writing prompts. Others have sent their project out and have had prompted poems and short stories published. Writing to a prompt will bring you out of your comfort zone and will allow you to stretch your abilities. Give it a try and join us for a night of entertaining performances.
A $2 donation at the door is appreciated and we use all money collected to award a prize at the end of the night.
Doors open at 6:30 for sign ups. Beer, wine, water and soda will be available to purchase.

WRITERS WORKSHOPS
Rediscovering Your Poetic Voice
Wednesday, September 11, 2019
7:00 – 9:00 p.m.
$15 in Advance $20 at the Door
Safety Harbor Art and Music Center
Taught by Marci Morley and Darla Chesnet
Do you want to write more poetry but haven’t found the tools for a fresh start? Do your poems somehow just miss being as good as they could be? We can help.
Both published poets, Marci and Darla will focus on rediscovering voice and style; using poetic devices, such as metaphor, simile, and imagery; working with poetic forms; and revisiting, revising, and refining your writing. Portions of the class will include workshopping, an opportunity to practice techniques.
In addition to a notebook and pen, please bring a double-spaced hard copy of a poem you have written and wish to improve.
