WriteGirls are inspired by a writing experiment at the Welcome Day.

October 28, 2008, Expo Center.  The mentee welcome day was a great chance for old friends to reconnect and for the new members to become integrated into the WriteGirl community. Everyone had a chance to pick out an awesome journal, a trusty side kick for all writing endeavors. Along with meeting and greeting, we participated in some great activities. We had the chance to discuss locations by putting our houses on a map which became the jumping off point for some creative writing. We were also inspired from old photographs and decorating journals with stamps, tissue paper, magazine cutouts and other materials. Everyone who came had a great time. What a wonderful way to kick off the new season.
