Link to 'Macomb Guild of Writers'

Here is the link to my school's wonderful little writing group that I belong to: http://macombguildofwriters.blogspot.com/

Although our blog is almost empty as of now, we will soon be filling it with our poetry, stories, and Guild adventures!

I love this group, this beautiful circle of ladies (no men as yet, save our professor). I have gathered so much motivation and inspiration from them. I love connecting with the people who, like me, are passionate about their craft and who are eager to learn more and more and more!

Youth and Poetry in "Bright Star"

"I think young people are probably more poetically inclined. I think they ... really want to connect. Connection is what being alive is, and they want to feel sane and create a sense of themselves and intimacy with others ... which is what Keats and his friends were doing, too, with letters however. My advice ...would be exactly the same ... its just to educate yourself [and] really build up your enthusiasm so that it's higher than your fear."

~ Jane Campion, writer and director
