Editor/writer Lynn Post of PostScripts Editing encourages writers to unplug and write outside.

Drawing on the idea of plein-air painting, where artists set up outside to capture the moment, Post offers writers the same opportunity to escape stuffy rooms and glowing computer screens in Seattle’s parks.The Plein-Air Prose Posse met in various different natural areas during the month of August for “write-outs.” September brings more formal workshops as well as other writing hikes and walks.

This series of workshops, walks, and community building events take place outdoors in the Seattle area. Writers are encouraged to bring a pen or pencil and paper for creating their prose.

To join the group, check the website for the current calendar of events: www.postscriptsediting.com/events.html.
