Soul Writing- This Sunday Feb 3, 2013

Small steps take us from where we are to where we want to be. Do you love to write? Have you ever wanted to write a book but felt intimidated by the process? If your answer is yes to both questions then please join the circle for the first of what I hope will be a monthly opportunity to spend time on writing, editing, sharing, and self publishing. Please RSVP by Friday Feb 1 to rejjarts@gmail.com so I can know how many people to expect.

Soul Writing: Drop In Circle
Sunday, February 3

Noon-1:30PM

Amor Spiritual Center

2528 Beacon Ave S.

Seattle, WA 98144

What to bring: Your ideas and the writing tools of your choice (pen and paper, laptop, etc)

The Details: My name is Reagan Jackson and I will be facilitating the circle. In 2010 I took a collection of my poetry and turned it into a book called God, Hair, Love, and America which I self published through Createspace.com . The entire process was wonderful, from writing and selecting the poems to creating themes and titles and finally putting the whole thing together. In the end, I not only had a book that I could hold in my hand, but a product that is currently being sold online through Amazon.com, Barnes and Nobles, Ebay, and other sites. There is even a kindle version. Locally Left Bank Books, Santoro’s Books, A Poetry Emporium, and the Center for Spiritual Living Bookstore have stocked my book and it has been entered into several libraries systems.

All of this started out as just a fun and exciting project, a Christmas present for my mother who was forever asking me to share my work. But it evolved into something so much greater. It turned into an opportunity for me to share a part of myself with the world in a way that will last beyond my lifespan. I really had no idea what I was doing, but now I do. It is my intention to share what I have learned through this process with anyone who is interested and to help them create their own book. Though my focus will be more on self-publishing, I will also provide resources for those interested in publishing in a more traditional way. All ages are welcome.

Agenda for the first circle:
• Writing Prompt: I Write Because / Disernment Exercise
• Introductions and Intention Setting

• Group Agreements

• Goals and action steps moving forward
