As many of you may know, the Lakebay Writers' Workshop started in the Great Age Antique store in Key Center, Washington and continues every Thursday from 1:30-3:30 pm in the Key Center Library Meeting Room. This page is for those in the virtual realm who wish to improve their writing. The exercises on this page are copyrighted, but permission is granted to those who love to write to copy one set for use in a classroom or workshop setting as long as the copyright and contact information are left intact on the document.
Coming up at Lakebay Writers' Workshop: Holidays Break. We will not meet from November 21, 2008 to January 7, 2009 for our annual Holidays Break. Mark your calendars now.
At our last meeting, we wrote 26 writing exercises to use through 2008-2009.
Below are the exercises in a chronlogical order. As always, our writers have the right to write about any topic each sees fit. These exercises are provided as a focus point to start the ball rolling. Enjoy!
