"Come Monday Night"
 
Join the Marvelous Monday Nighters of Women Writing for (a) Change in Cincinnati, as they present their written works in a format called a readaround. Once a semester, we invite the public into our circle to hear the words of women writers.  Women stand before a podium, microphone in hand, and share in a publishing of their work, their lives.

From airport security lines to the making of Julia Child's beef pot roast , from the old boys club on the golf course to one teacher's tribute to her deceased student, from online dating to connecting the dots, the marvelous women from Monday night take listeners on an amazing journey through the land of laughs and tears.

Credits to:  Janet, Karen, Annette, Susan, Katherine, Inga, Sandi, Jackie, Celeste, Donna, Mary Jo, Kerry, Naomi, Saundra and Sally, while holding the words of those unable to read that day, Anni and Terri.

WRITING PROMPT

Today

The ordinary miracles begin. Somewhere
a signal arrives: "Now," and the rays
come down. A tomorrow has come. Open
your hands, lift them: morning rings
all the doorbells; porches are cells for prayer.
Religion has touched your throat. Not the same now,
you could close your eyes and go on full of light.

And it is already begun, the chord
that will shiver glass, the song full of time
bending above us. Outside, a sign:
a bird intervenes; the wings tell the air,
"Be warm." No one is out there, but a giant
has passed through town, widening streets, touching
the ground, shouldering away the stars.

~ William Stafford ~

The sprint of the holidays has ended as we reenter our routines.  Open your journal, maybe for the first time in awhile.  Now where did you leave off?

1.  What is your favorite time of day?  Describe it and what it means to you.  

2.  Have you made any resolutions?  How about committing to writing about everyday, ordinary miracles once a week.


3.  Pull out your planner or calendar and schedule three writing appointments between now and the end of January.  You and your voice deserve it.  

4.  As always, obey your crazy muse.
