Attention Writers!

Remember our amazing Guest Speaker (2010), Jim Daniels? Well, he teaches creative writing at CMU and runs a great writing contest. Please check this opportunity out:

There are writing prompts to find inspiration as well:

This quote from one of the prompts speaks loudly to our interests in Tapestry:


“The impulse to art, the impulse to creativity is very similar to the impulse to
spirituality and to imagining and creating a more humane society. It's a way to
connect to something that gives you deep roots. And with the roots, then
you're kind of able to stretch out and move in directions that perhaps you
wouldn't have had the strength or the inspiration to do otherwise.”
  --Dr. Rachel Harding (Veterans of Hope Project)
