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: Monday--Marilyn Nicholson,a Gather member since 2006, has been published in magazines and on websites. She has taught courses on and written about aromatherapy, herbs and perfume. Her writing prompts are geared to all ages and all types and levels of writers. Tuesday--Xtabber has been a Gather member since 2005 -- a pre-points Gatherer!!. 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. 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. 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, Jennifer and MaryAnne Recent Photos

Hi, I never got them on here. I read them on your page, all three parts and other than some editing, which it looked like you already have someone doing? - I liked them.

Seriously, I've done it before and it's worked. But today, it's not working! I click "share with group" at the top right corner. It goes to the place where you choose what you're going to share. I click "share a post". Then, at the top, it changes from "Groups" to "Explore", and even though it says it's being shared with the group, it doesn't show up in the posts on the group home. Help! |
