Blog EntryOrganizing a Writing ClubMay 21, '08 4:27 AM
for everyone

Some years ago, I wanted to organize a writing club. Deep inside, I knew I couldn't do much as an individual, and so I thought of gathering other individuals who share my ideals in life. I started making some flyers to give away, but the plan did not materialize. Somewhere along the way, I got distracted by the things of the world. The aroma of coffee was too much to resist.

 

Today I read what I wrote in the flyer, and was reminded of that dream:

 

 

Who and What We Are…

 

We are a group of women striving to achieve a common goal.

A goal to uphold the dignity of human life and restore the true glory of society.

We see the world and look at it with hopeful vision rather than with eyes of cynicism and apathy.

We see the burdens of an unjust environment and seek solutions rather than criticize.

We believe in the power of media and use it to build, rather than destroy, society.

it's good to "see" a fellow writer online. my writings are scattered -- thank God for online blogs I'm now able to organize them somehow. unpredictable and complicated mind, hmm, i think writers are inherently like that, including me hehe...

i second that:thank God for online blogs.hehehe.blog really is a wonderful thing.it's like an online diary & sometimes it's better than writing 'cause typing can catch up with our thoughts faster than writing do.hehehe.i choose what i post online though.some of my writings i keep private.my angst,i usually post them...for tension release.hehehe.

i admire "writers".they always seem to find the words to express everything in an articulate manner.i've always dreamt of becoming a writer.i love to write, but i guess im a "silent writer" (if that's what its called.hehehe) but there's one thing i can never write - poetry! hehehe...i dunno why, but i guess it just doesn't come to me! hehehe...


i like going through your site.
its nice to know that there are still some people who enjoy talking about food, coffee, books, writings etc. instead of the usual (these days) - psp, world of gizmos, partying and stuff like that.=)

i couldn't agree more about the penmanship thing.hahaha...
wow, love letters huh?! love letters can be the most baduy thing ever to be written because of its cheesy-ness but then it also brings adrenaline rush to hearts in love and those hopeless romantic! hehehe...
