Would you like to share your personal feelings about Hurricane Patricia?

A one page form is being passed around town, both in Spanish and English. The form can be picked up and dropped off at the bookstore. We are asking if people would like to write about their experiences concerning Hurricane Patricia. We will select 20 or so stories, translate into both languages, print, and distribute free around town. Folks can sign their first name, full name, or not at all. The idea is for people to express their feelings about this unusual event in their lives, but also something the children might enjoy reading in 20 years. Thanks, The Writer's Group and Story Slam Salon. | ------------------------Re: Would you like to share your personal feelings about Hurricane Patricia?

Wonderful idea! Felipe and I wold both like to participate in this...in English and Spanish. We will go by the bookstore for the form. Can't till Thursday though and hope there will still be time? Made me think about the earthquake of '95, which I was also here for, and a project I did with some of the kids after, having them express their experience with drawings. Powerful, therapeutic process and results! I look forward to this . Thank you! Judy Horan

Thanks for your interest. We currently have no deadline and are letting the process unfold as it may. | ------------------------Re: Would you like to share your personal feelings about Hurricane Patricia?

For those not here to go to the book store can you give us a little insight as to what is on the form they have there? I'll turn in mine now if that is ok. Hurricanes suck. The end. | ------------------------Re: Would you like to share your personal feelings about Hurricane Patricia?

Pretty much what I stated on the first post is what is on the form. Pick one up at the bookstore or just write your feelings on a piece of paper and drop it off at the bookstore or to anyone from The Writer's Group. So far we have quite the range, from two words from Daniel to 5 pages from Pedro. | ------------------------Re: Would you like to share your personal feelings about Hurricane Patricia?

Free! It's a great idea and I look forward to reading them. By the way mine (above) is 3 pages (24 pt Arial black). | ------------------------Re: Would you like to share your personal feelings about Hurricane Patricia?

Because of the costs involved, around 250 words would be best. Thanks | ------------------------Re: Would you like to share your personal feelings about Hurricane Patricia?

Research say's there are 350 top 400 words on a A4 sheet of paper. Figure 3/4 of a page for each x 20, double that for English / Spanish and you are around 18 pages printed on both sides. I am guessing that when it comes to selecting the ones to publish there is a difference between sharing your story and sharing your feelings? Interesting project. | ------------------------Re: Would you like to share your personal feelings about Hurricane Patricia?

Hi Ron, I like this project but I was thinking of making the same comment as Danial H. I am going to guess that most of your responses are about stories or feelings about stories. While there are a number of good writers in La Manz I doubt that there will actually be many responses that actually talk just about "feelings". If I am proved wrong so much the better. | ------------------------
