The Writing Lincoln Initiative is inviting you to our Spring Writing Marathon on Saturday, April 20th from 12- 4 PM in Pioneers Park. Following in the tradition of our Nebraska Writing Project collaborators, this writing marathon invites guests to spend an afternoon exploring nature while writing about their experiences or anything that is important to them.
We ask that all attendees first meet at the Pioneers Park Nature Center (3201 South Coddington, Lincoln, NE 68522) at noon to begin the marathon.
After a brief overview of what writing marathons entail, attendees will break into small groups that together, will explore the park, pause to write, and share that writing with each other. One of those groups will function as an accessibility group, which will stick to sidewalks, flat planes, and the sections of the park more suited for those who need mobility assistance. There are also indoor areas where we can write.
We hope this event gives attendees a chance to experience the world as writers, space to generate new material, and an opportunity to share their writing with others within a supportive community. This event is free and open to the public, so invite friends and family members!
