Shelf-life of Zionism

Oak Garden Furniture

Welcome to the Writing Essential (WE), the only Essential that is solely member run by a stable of different and talented Gather members who are here to help you create seven great days of writing. The Writing Essential was created as a home for Gather writers to congregate and publish their work and receive constructive criticism, as well as to share their experiences and ask questions about the craft of writing. Let me introduce you to the Member Editors: Sunday--Ron Hall Ron is a yard sale wiz and publishes "Would You Buy This Or Not" series. He is a devout NPR and MPR fan who has open topic Sundays. Monday - Greg Schiller is a civil servant by day and a servant to an uncivil cat by night. Whenever possible, he flees to his home in the woods, outside the little Minnesota town of Almost Iowa. His hobbies include juggling chain-saws and writing humor. Tuesday--Xtabber has been a Gather member since 2005!. His work has been published in a creative writing and arts journal and he is working on a novel. X prefers fiction, but dabbles in poetry and essays as well. An avid motorcyclist, X can often be found winding the lovely back roads of Missouri and Illinois. Wednesday--Susan Budig writes for local Minnesota newspapers on topics of music, arts, human interest, and health. One of her true loves is poetry, which she teaches in community ed. She'll sprinkle Wednesday's WE with writing techniques, prompts, and challenges for both prose and poetry fans. Thursday--Kimberly Ripley Kim is a professional freelancer and writes a column "Freelancing for Profit." Her WE Thursdays have rotating topics. Friday--Nancy Luckhurst Nancy is a freelance editor who has rotating topics for her Friday's from telling your life story to an open ended group story thread. Saturday-- Atticus*Atticus is a visual artist, but he has come to love writing, particularly but not exclusively poetry, for its fluidity of expression, direct access and inexhaustible well of creative potential. The sky is the limit for Saturday on Gather Writing Essentials. Topics and prompts will vary on an evolving basis. Now that you have met our great group of Member Editors, I encourage you to participate. The Writing Essential is a great place to connect with other writers and to give and receive constructive criticism. Best, MaryAnne Recent Photos

My friend, Barbara Briggs here on Gather has just completed a great story. It is of the Indian culture and she is in desparate need for help with the story editing. If anyone of you editors could spend a short time to assist her, she would greatly appreciate it. Are we not here to assist one another? Please help if you can.

I'd like to post a summary or maybe the intro of a story I was working on for NaNoWriMo, that I'm considering completing, editing and pitching to a few publishers. I'd like to get some constructive feedback about this fiction-mystery. Where, how can I post this here? thanks!
