it was one of the best things I've done in a long time - much came out of it that I hadn't expected! - and I do intend to write to the last 2-3 prompts that I've missed and comment on some of the great writing that has been submitted!

Ibex Studios Fire. Brew. Nouns or verbs?

www.ibexstudios.wordpress.com
It’s the first thing I do this morning: walk out onto the frozen, snowy yard, load a lopsided pile of wood in the carrying bag, and shuffle back in. I scoop last night’s ash out of the wood stove, and pile in the fresh load: paper, kindling, logs. I light a match and walk away.

Ibex Studios Ibex Studios' friend and salon contributor has published a piece she worked on in our recent nonfiction workshop... check it out! It looks great, Peggy!

As I drive across this quiet stretch of river on the small, two-lane bridge to Sauvie Island, leaving for now the city of Portland not so far behind, I want to write the story of Red Truck Farm, a 1/2-acre vegetable and dry bean farm dedicated to growing organic food for the local community. ...

Ibex Studios "Pierced" is on my mind.

www.ibexstudios.wordpress.com
During my first Portland job interview, I learned that my boss-to-be was a polyamorous, bisexual, married, expectant father. “Wow, I’m really not in Montana anymore,” I thought. “Cool.”

Ibex Studios In this hands-on workshop you will learn (or remember) how to bake a simple, delicious loaf of whole wheat bread in your own home. We will take you through the process of making bread, step-by-step.

While the dough is rising and baking oh-so-patiently, we will write from prompts inspired by the bread-making process. By... the end of the afternoon, you will have a notebook brimming with story seeds and a warm loaf of bread in your hand.

Bread bakers and writers of all experience levels are all encouraged to join us!
