NJ Writers Group - The Spirited Goldfinch

Hi all !

Does anyone have cacoethes scribendi ?

It sounds like some kind of exotic disease, but actually it is Latin for an "insatiable urge to write". I hope all of you are blessed with this benign disease.

If you didn't have a chance to check out the last set of links I posted here, scroll down below a couple of posts to check them out.

NJ Writer's Group Blog

Well, this is the first post on the newly created NJ Writer's Group Blog. Welcome to this forum one and all ! For those of you who have never blogged before, it can really be a fun and productive type of writing. Most blogs on the Internet have a certain off-the-cuff style of writing, and are usually outspoken and not without a bit of humor and wit. I hope we can follow in that tradition from God's point of view. After all, who has a better sense of humor than God in this Universe ? When God laughs, good sprit world, creation, and saints on earth laugh with him as well.

Just to review, these are the guidelines that Mr. Bob Beebe sent to us recently.

As we are now living in the Age After the Coming of Heaven and as we are called to become Owners of Cheon Il Guk, God’s Heavenly Nation, we have come together as writers to form a group for the purpose of creating literature appropriate to God’s Kingdom. Such literature may comprise fiction and nonfiction, short stories and novels, prose and poetry. It may take the form of picture books, chapter books, magazine articles, or self-published materials. In whatever form, our writing shall be for the purpose of inspiring children and adults to celebrate God’s love and truth, ourselves as His sons and daughters, our families as schools of love, nature as God’s gift to us, and the world as one family under God, our Heavenly Parent.

As a group we shall encourage each other in whatever writing projects we are working on, giving and seeking constructive criticism for the purpose of improving and elevating our work to the highest possible standard.

Our goal for this year is to produce one book to which each group member will submit at least one piece of finished writing. Book title and theme ?


This blog is available to writers who agree with the preceding statement of purpose and is by invitation only.

Thanks for your support. I hope we can use this forum to more easily communicate with each other. Thanks to you all and God Bless everyone ! Happy Blogging !
