Welcome to The OWLSNEST board. This is an on-line platform for OWLs (Older Writer Laboratory members) to work on their writing in a positive atmosphere of supportive commentary from fellow OWLS.
Are you an OWL? Good question.
Are you a baby boomer or older? If so, you are an OWL. Embrace the fact that you are successfully aging with the help of your ever-increasing creativity. Join us by sharing your writing, be it poetry, short stories, plays, or whatever form of lifestory-telling you have embarked upon. The chapters of your memoirs and autobiographies are welcomed.
The format of this site will evolve...with your help. What would you like a writing website to offer?
First of all I will give each of you your own category. All of your writing can be contained under your folder. I advise that we allow commentary on all writings.
We can also have a general collection of writings under categories such as Love/death/humor/family/lessons-learned/relationships/nature/spiritual...etc.
Are you interested in becoming an OWL Facilitator? Your responsibilities range from holding monthly writers' group workshops to one-on-one facilitation of a homebound or nursing home resident that would appreciate your assistance in helping to get their writing out here for us all to enjoy.
I am looking for comments. You may respond to this posting or send me an email to: alharris@wayne.edu.
Ultimately, I would like to see us publish an annual anthology of OWL writings in ebook or traditional book format.
