This book offers instruction\, inspiration and prompts for writing Climate Fiction (CliFi)\, a subcategory of the literary genre\, Speculative Fiction. CliFi focuses primarily\, but not exclusively\, on the ways that climate change is transforming our world. Explore how plot\, place and character development can make climate change personal. By anticipating and elaborating on the future implications of climate change\, writers of CliFi use knowledge of science and climate to imagine and create apocalyptic or dystopian worlds with the goal of changing how humans think about\, inhabit and interact with our planet. Place your writing at the forefront of efforts to reimagine the message and the messengers of climate change\, taking the issue out of politics and into the realm of the personal. \n  \nEbook and paperback available on Amazon in July. \nShare this:\n Share on Facebook (Opens in new window)\n Facebook\n \n Share on X (Opens in new window)\n X\n \n Share on Tumblr (Opens in new window)\n Tumblr\n \n Share on LinkedIn (Opens in new window)\n LinkedIn\n \n Share on Pinterest (Opens in new window)\n Pinterest URL:http://archive.gloucesterwriters.org/event/saving-the-world-one-word-at-a-time-reading-and-writers-workshop-2/ LOCATION:GWC\, 126 East Main Street\, Gloucester\, MA\, 01930\, United States CATEGORIES:Classes,Events,Readings END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Halifax:20150808T090000 DTEND;TZID=America/Halifax:20150808T110000 DTSTAMP:20260425T232327 CREATED:20150630T141010Z LAST-MODIFIED:20150630T141010Z UID:5601-1439024400-1439031600@archive.gloucesterwriters.org SUMMARY:Love and Apocalypse\, Externalize Your Inner Apocalypse.

This book offers instruction\, inspiration and prompts for externalizing your inner apocalypse. Using creative writing\, readers are encouraged to make meaning of their experiences by discovering\, emphasizing and illuminating changed perspectives. Every character and every story we write is autobiographical. Our writing can transform us by offering opportunities to explore\, examine\, and understand outcomes from our lives\, and to imagine alternatives. We can evoke a sense of justice and peace\, not by changing outcomes (usually it’s too late for that)\, but by changing perspective. Apocalyptic stories can inspire change\, and even hope. \nEbook available on Amazon\, paperback available soon. \n  \n  \n  \nShare this:\n Share on Facebook (Opens in new window)\n Facebook\n \n Share on X (Opens in new window)\n X\n \n Share on Tumblr (Opens in new window)\n Tumblr\n \n Share on LinkedIn (Opens in new window)\n LinkedIn\n \n Share on Pinterest (Opens in new window)\n Pinterest URL:http://archive.gloucesterwriters.org/event/love-and-apocalypse-externalize-your-inner-apocalypse-reading-and-writers-workshop/ LOCATION:GWC\, 126 East Main Street\, Gloucester\, MA\, 01930\, United States CATEGORIES:Classes,Events,Readings ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/png:http://archive.gloucesterwriters.org/wp-content/uploads/2015/06/Screen-Shot-2015-07-15-at-6.44.21-AM.png END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Halifax:20150730T190000 DTEND;TZID=America/Halifax:20150730T213000 DTSTAMP:20260425T232327 CREATED:20150529T130503Z LAST-MODIFIED:20150529T130503Z UID:5458-1438282800-1438291800@archive.gloucesterwriters.org SUMMARY:10-Minute Playwriting DESCRIPTION:  \nInstructor: M.

The workshop is limited to 12 writers. \n  \nWe will write new work regularly: sketches\, personal stories\, poems\, prose poems\, letters\, depictions of the self and beyond the self\, and descriptions of visual experiences. The workshop encourages attention to the inner voice and its encounters with the outer world. As witnesses\, writers will describe and interpret their ongoing thinking\, observations and memories in the process of making meaning. \n  \nThere will be time for all writers to read from their work and to listen and learn from the writings of others in a friendly\, supportive atmosphere. We write to understand the world and we also create literature to know ourselves. \n  \nThe workshop will inspire people to realize the benefits of an ongoing writing practice. The confidence of writers will be reinforced by seeing the mind at work as it emerges on the page. I am eager to read your work and converse with you in writing from week to week. I also want to meet with everyone\, one-on-one. \n  \n“We shall not cease from exploration \nAnd the end of all our exploring \nWill be to arrive where we started \nAnd know the place for the first time.” \n  \n\n\n\nT.S.
