MARCH PROMPT: a different kind of love song

As always, strict (or any) adherence to the prompt is NOT mandatory. Think of it as a possible source of inspiration.

What we'll do:

• Discuss songwriting in an open, collaborative environment.
• Share songs that we've written, give and receive constructive feedback from other songwriters.

You can play your song live, or share video and audio (please send any files, links and lyrics to Paul at pbeaulieu@burlingtonwritersworkshop.com. Or if you just have lyrics, you can recite those.

Note: This meeting will be held using Zoom. The link will be made available shortly before the meeting.

What to bring

• a song that you've written
• optionally copies of lyrics and chords
• optionally an instrument (A cappella/karaoke also encouraged!)

Important to know

• Make new friends
• Learn new things
• Write new songs

CONTENT ADVISORY:

All works in BWW are intended for an adult audience, and may contain language, characters, themes, and content that is offensive or triggering to some readers. If your piece has content that may be upsetting to others, please put the words "Content Advisory" at the top of the piece and the reasons why. For example: "Content Advisory: Graphic violence, depression, & PTSD"

Please note, this is simply a courtesy to all BWW members, so that they can choose whether or not to be exposed to given material, and when. We completely understand no one can catch every possible issue. However, we do ask that you make a good faith effort for the benefit of all members. Better too much info than not enough. This policy is in no way censoring what is written, it is merely a consideration to others.

If you're unfamiliar with this topic, please visit this website for some examples of things that might come up. In general: if you're writing about something that would be harmful physically, mentally, and/or emotionally to others in real life (such as graphic violence), list it as a content advisory.

ZOOM NAME:

For security reasons, please make sure your name on Zoom matches the name you used to sign up for the workshop(s). Adding pronouns is fine (and encouraged)! We just want to make sure we’re able to tell that everyone in the waiting room is signed up for the workshop. :)

*In other words, if we can't tell who you are on Zoom, we will not be letting you in from the waiting room.*

Alternatively, if you are unable to change your Zoom name (and it doesn't match your sign-up name), please use the Contact the Organizer button which name is on your account, so we can see you're supposed to be there.

MEETING: Only registered members of Burlington Writers Workshop will be given access to this session. Membership is free and easy.

CANCEL: PLEASE cancel your registration if you will not be in attendance, so people on the WAIT LIST will be able to fill that seat. To cancel, click your name or email in the top right corner of the Eventbrite screen, click on tickets, click on workshop to be canceled, and click cancel order.
