I am starting our first online writing circle for Paper & Pen members Join our Monthly Writing Circle: a warm, supportive online space for Paper & Pen members to write together, share ideas, and celebrate each other's progress. All levels welcome. Come for the words, stay for the community. ✍️ This is just $8.00 per month when you upgrade to Premium tier. Let's take our writing to the next step together. Now I know that everyone is not ready or maybe even interested in publishing, some of us are just here for the joy of writing. Whatever your reason I know you will benefit from the joy of writing with friends, learning and working together. About me: 📕I have published several books - two poetry books and one personal development book. I also run a publishing company together with my daughter, who has published several books herself. I have numerous articles and stories published in other books, magazines and journals. In addition, I run several creative writing programmes throughout the year. 📑 I also have a Master of Arts degree in Creative Writing. It would be a joy to share both my writing passion and my knowledge and experience with you. Come join me.

In my meditation this morning I was blessed with this thought: "Words carry vibration, both spoken works and the words of our thoughts. What vibrations are you expressing outwardly through the words you speak and the words of the thoughts you are having. Those thoughts that no one know you are having, about yourself and about others. The call of this message was for me to be more consciously aware of the vibration I am emanating to the world around me." If you had the power to write a poem, a paragraph or a song that would create a positive vibration to the world around you, what would it be about?

Many writers today use digital tools, yet some still prefer writing ideas the old-fashioned way. Do you find that writing by hand helps your creativity or focus more than typing?

This week's prompt. Write about a beginning that felt like an ending, or an ending that felt like a beginning. Ambiguity is the subject here. Let the poem or prose resist resolution. Give this ago this week and let's see what we can come up with.
