All Good Things

(David Martin is the Fine Lines Creative Writing Summer Camp Director.)
“All good things which exist are fruits of originality.” John Stuart Hill
Fine Lines creates summer writing camps for those young students of all ages who find peace in words. Our camps are places where writers of all abilitites share stories, essays, poems, and songs. These writing communities become a universe of combined wisdom in metaphor.
As “Woody” Gruber, one of our best camp story tellers, likes to say, “Each writer brings a candle of light and insight to the written page, and when those many sources of energy are united, they create a lighthouse that shines into the darkness and helps ‘those alone on ships at sea.’ Years ago, Arch Bishop Fulton Sheen used to have a television show called The Christophers, and his motto for each program was, ‘It is better to light just one candle than to curse the darkness.’ The most important thing writers can do is to light their candles by writing.” (more…)

2008 Camp photos are up!
Thursday, July 9th, 2009
We just posted photographs from last year’s summer writing camp on our Flickr feed. See the whole slideshow!
In 1991, Fine Lines began to provide a place where creative writers could share their written ideas with others. What started out as a classroom project at one school in the USA is now a fifty-state writing network of authors who love the written word, and they now have the support of a 501 (c) 3 nonprofit organization. We have published writing from more than twenty different countries. This international, quarterly journal is dedicated to the writing development of all its members. Join now!

“Writing to some people is a joke. To me, it is my life. I have never
been in a place where I have felt so welcome, because of my talent.”
Ellen Garfoot
“I plan to keep on writing, because now, the words just flow in my
head. Before this camp, that did not happen. I think this experience
made me a better writer.” Mandie Livermore
“I enjoyed all the speakers, but I enjoyed most the two boys who played
a guitar and the piano. Their songs sounded like good poems put to
music.” Catie Doran
“This camp was the best experience I have had in a long time, because
not only did I enjoy it, but I could share my writing gift with others.”
Andrea Dai
“I was surprised how many jobs are connected to good writing techniques.”
Taylor Sutherland
