The highly commercialized month of feBruary has long been hijacked as the month for love [Hallmark's Valentines Day: boooo! =P] — but love is always, and so, for us at Miami Writers Assoc. — we’re hijacking it back as one for Inspiration and for our ever-flourishing creativity; really, 2010 looks promising – and let’s face it, how we choose to view things can affect our very future. We invite you to come and share your work with others that have that same inspired and passionate spirit.
February Writing Critique to be hosted by Melanie at Wallflower Gallery on Thursday, February 4, 7-9pm// We will have another moderator(s) if the group gets large, and other rooms at the gallery are available for another one or two sessions.
And to show our L-O-V-E for the Wallflower Gallery, we are requesting a donation of $10 per participant.
We look forward to seeing everyone there!

José Javier Rodríguez I had trouble writing some days. Others I would mull over ideas with no inspiration. And I felt so alone. I didn’t know there was help for my condition. But that’s when my doctor told me about Critique Sessions (from the makers of MWA). Side effects include staying an hour and a half later than scheduled…cuz it was tha…t good we couldn’t leave! In truth, for me, Thursday’s critique session was like writers’ church. I gave a little and got tenfold back. Great work. Great people. Feedback was spot-on (as long as we stuck to the guidelines). Mel: that’s fantastic you got out there – when are you holding a friendly pre-screening!? Johnny thanks for the link and Adam in particular for letting me download your perspective/knowledge! And as for Angello…don’t worry man I’m sure there’s a pharmaceutical out there for that schweatiness…
Johnny Tsokos It was great spending the evening with you guys, sharing creative ideas and of course feedback on some great works… and of course some good laughs. Looking forward to seeing you all soon. Jose, this Nut Graf’s for you…ha! http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nut_graph
Melanie Feliciano Hey Johnny Tsokos, Adam, Angello & Jose! What a great writing critique last night at Le Cafe. Thanks for the feedback on my script, “Wish of the Urban Mermaid.” You saw so much more in it than I did! We’re gonna start shooting some scenes this afternoon. See y’all at the next critique. Time and place TBD. ;-D
