October Meeting - CANCELLED

This event has been cancelled due to an issue that has come up. November's meeting is currently scheduled as normal. Hope to see you then!

 Hey, Scribes!

We will be meeting at the New Albany branch library on October 11, 2025, from 4-5:30pm. You can get updates and notices by visiting @colhouseofscribes.bsky.social.

Prompt: "Here's the plan."

Discussion: Poetry in Motion: or, I'm a Poet, and I Don't Even Have Awareness

The prompt: Each month, we make available a voluntary prompt by the week before the meetup. Members may choose to write a short piece, fiction or nonfiction, poetry, prose, or script, as long as it conforms to the rules of the prompt.

Prompt Rules : 800 words max.

Prize: One randomly-drawn prompt response will win a $5 Half Price Books gift card. The winner must be present to claim the prize.

The discussion: Each month, we have one or more discussion topics related to the art and/or business of writing. We also provide recommended reading, which are topical links to use as a starting point. If you have a topic you would like to cover, let us know!

Writing challenge: Every so often, we will host a challenge, where we provide one or more prompts, give members a set time to write, then give anyone who feels comfortable sharing what they wrote the opportunity to do so.

Critiques: Members can bring copies of a written piece up to 5,000 words to a meetup and distribute it to be critiqued at a subsequent meetup. Alternately, submissions can be emailed to col.scribes@gmail.com, where they will be placed into a Google Drive accessible to volunteers for critique.
