If what you are going to an Inkwell workshop, then…<\/p>\r\n
\u6bcf\u6b21\u4f1a\u8bae\u4e4b\u524d<\/strong>, there are generally a prompt for the next meeting. Use the prompts as a guide to help write a short story or essay or poem, which should hopefully be around 2000 words. Stories that are longer than this take a long time for readers to get through, and risk being skipped. Some Inkwells are more flexible with length, and I would encourage you to check with your local Inkwell leader.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n Don’t worry if the story isn’t completely finished, or if your response doesn’t follow the prompt. Prompts are only there to challenge you and get you thinking about writing in a different way.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n If you wrote a piece that you feel pretty strongly about that has nothing to do with the prompt for that meeting, post it anyway. Inkwell leaders appreciate new work from their writers.<\/p>\r\n Also, please read other work before meeting. This will make the discussion go much faster.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n \u5728\u6bcf\u6b21\u4f1a\u8bae\u4e0a<\/strong>, we go over each piece with comments and feedback. Our primary purpose of feedback is to get writers to identify their strengths and weaknesses, with the goal of writing more compelling pieces. We like to keep feedback constructive, helpful, and honest. Keep an open mind to feedback, but also remember that writers are people with their own tastes. If you have any worries or preferences about your feedback, please talk to your local Inkwell leader.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n There’s a WeChat group for every Inkwell<\/strong>\u00a0that any member can add you to. Try to keep it about writing and Inkwell events. If it’s a long conversation, take it to a private chat.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n What is Inkwell?<\/strong>\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n We\u2019re an organization dedicated to training writers of English language fiction, nonfiction, and poetry as well as developing a literary community that appreciates and studies literature.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n How much does Inkwell cost?<\/strong><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n Inkwell is completely free. \u00a0We do ask that you buy a drink if we’re at a venue to support our hosts, though.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n How often does Inkwell meet?\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n Each Inkwell meets on a different schedule. I’d suggest checking out the calendar to see when exactly your specific Inkwell is meeting.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n \u6211\u8be5\u5982\u4f55\u53c2\u52a0\uff1f<\/strong><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n You will need to register on the website by clicking the \u5728\u8fd9\u91cc\u6ce8\u518c<\/strong> button on the homepage.
