January is National Travel Writing Month

Tuesday, November 1st, 2011

A message to all members of National Travel Writing Month

Based on nearly all the responses to last week’s call for participants, we are postponing the Travel Writing Month challenge until January.

We’ll regroup on a new platform at a new URL, so please stay tuned for updates.

Also, please keep in mind that the challenge doesn’t require 30 traditional editorial pitches in 30 days: you are free to count any activity that furthers your travel writing goals.

Any questions or suggestions, please email me directly.

A message to all members of National Travel Writing Month

With encouragement from Lola Akinmade Akerstrom and blessings from Christine Gilbert, NaTraWriMo may rise again soon if there is enough interest among group members.

1. Are you interested in participating in a challenge next month, November 1-30, 2011?

2. If not, would another month be more practical for you?

3. Do you have suggestions for improving the challenge?

4. Would you be interested in volunteering time as a moderator?

Additionally, there is the question of whether to continue hosting the group on the Ning platform.

We are currently at 198 registered members. For cost considerations, we would have to limit participation in a Ning community to less than 150 active members.

To support a larger group, we would have to seek sponsorship or institute a small monthly membership charge. As a second alternative, we could (and perhaps eventually will) move back to a WordPress blog-and-comment format on another host.

If you would like to participate again, please respond with your interest and thoughts on continuing the challenge.

With my very best regards,

Lanora Schoeny Mueller

P.S. Please note that we no longer have access to the natrawrimo.com domain, so for the time being, please change your bookmarks to point directly to http://natrawrimo.ning.com.

We have reserved travelwritingmonth.com for possible future use.

What is a T-Group and why learn about it?

Tuesday, May 24th, 2011

This may seem to be an unusual topic for me to feature in Success with Writing. However, I strongly believe the better we understand people, the better writers we become.

I attended my first NTL class on T-Groups in 1988 while working on my degree in Organizational Development. It gave me such a wonderful understanding of different people, I feel it has enabled me to write better stories based on understanding and valuing differences.

NTL is open to more than college or university students. It is open to anyone wanting to learn.

The NTL Institute T-Group What is it?  What is its value today?

Join us for a complimentary webinar on Wednesday, June 1st, 2011 at 12-1pm EST,
as we address the foundation of NTL’s ground-breaking methodology.

CLICK HERE to register for this Free Webinar.

The NTL Institute (www.ntl.org) Training Group, best known as a T-Group, is a proprietary, highly experiential learning structure offered by the NTL Institute for 65 years.  While its basic principles remain, the T-Group, as a learning technology, has adapted to the demands of the modern world and today is still a unique, vibrant, powerful learning structure. Participants in a T-Group work together in a small group for an extended time.  Learning comes from analysis of participants’ own experience, including feelings, reactions, perception and behavior.  A T-Group is usually a significant part of a larger learning laboratory design that includes theory presentations, instruments and experiential exercises.

.
In this webinar, NTL Institute faculty Dr. Barbara Brewer and Ed Mayhew will be leading an interactive discussion about the history, structure, outcomes and real world applications of the T-Group.  They will be joined by an NTL Institute client, who will discuss the reasons she refers participants to NTL Institute T-Groups and the value her organization receives. Another individual participant who will also join us and discuss her experience in the T-Group.

.
We will conclude this interactive webinar with a time for general discussion and a Question and Answer session led by the NTL Institute faculty.
