It was my pleasure to review Musings and Ravings From a Pandemic Year, the latest in a series of books by local writer and writing instructor Marlene Cullen of Jumpstart Writing Workshops.
The Write Spot: Musings and Ravings From a Pandemic Year, the seventh book in The Write Spot series, chronicles emotions and experiences during a tumultuous year. Whether you are a seasoned writer or just now beginning to capture your thoughts and feelings in words, the relatability and humor of this anthology provide a variety of heartfelt lessons in how to capture the essence of our times and emotions with encouragement and tips for writing. Contributing writers: Brenda Bellinger, Cheryl Moore, Christine Renaudin, Dave Seter, Deb Fenwick, Julie Wilder-Sherman, Karen Handyside Ely, Kathy Guthormsen, Lynn Levy, Mary Dooley, Nona Smith, Patricia Morris, Su Shafer, Susan Bono, Susie Moses
Personally, I savored the seamless connection between these wonderful, honest writers (several of whom I know in person) in one sitting, a mug of tea in hand. Writers need other writers to remind us why we do what we do.
It is the subtle evolution of our everyday ideals that help us see the patterns that emerge in the space between each writer’s words. This book is a timely reminder of how busy we’ve all been while stuck at home, striving to uncover that elusive state of grace buried within the fog of a pandemic.
