The Writers’ Nook is a place where we, as a group, can provide a safe and positive environment in which to encourage one another and hone our own writing skills.
Rhythm in Writing
The rhythm in your writing can be sensed by readers. But what is this rhythm? And where does it come from? Do you know whether your writing jigs or jives? Waltzes or boogies? Struts or strolls?
How to Make Your Words Swing and Swirl

Sharing
This is where we share a page or so from a book we’re currently reading, to shed more light on the topic at hand, mood and atmosphere.
The Challenge
Your challenge before our next meeting on January 11th is to write a Christmas story, poem or essay. Think of those feelings we have for one another, and the wishes that we bestow on one another at this time of year. Try to use some of what we have discussed in today’s meeting to ‘Add Some Rhythm’ to your writing.
