September 2005 Newsletter

[dawn_felagund]

It is official: The Silmarillion Writers' Guild is now over one month old. Given all that has been accomplished in that month and all the wonderful, new people I've had the chance to meet, it is hard to believe that it is not much longer!

As you know, one of my goals for this group is to have regular challenges and to promote discussion (or at least thought) about topics related to both The Silmarillion and writing. Given this, I am going to do my best to present the group with a new writing challenge every month, as well as any relevant essays that I can find related to the challenge or discussions going on within the group.

I will say up front that I do not always agree with the material I am presenting to you. It is my feeling, though, that all sides should be heard and all advice considered equally. That said, the essays I offer the group on what constitutes good (or less-than-good) writing are the opinions of that author only. You are welcome to disagree: This group is all about discussing The Silmarillion and writing, so throw your complaints out there and see what others have to say about it. (You might be pleasantly surprised to find that more agree with you than with the purported experts!)

In addition, I will use our monthly "newsletter" to remind members about ongoing projects within the group. If you are interested in helping with any of these projects--or if you have ideas of your own for something new to do--please do not hesitate to contact me.

Have a great September and may the Muses smile upon you!
