"You have to know that it is temporary - while you are creating it is sometimes a frenzy, it is sometimes all consuming, and it just takes all of your time and attention, energy and resources. But it's not going to last forever, there's always going to be a light at the end of the tunnel that isn't an oncoming train." - Sarah, on the creative process

Start your own book club!
1. Pick a genre or a topic. (It can be as broad or as defined as you want.)
2. Who is hosting the discussion each month (always you, or do you want a rotating moderator)?Where will the book club meet (bookstore, home, cafe, restaurant)?
3. Make some guidelines for your book choices, so members know how to suggest books. Do you only read paperbacks? Do you only
4. Have questions prepared. Here are some that work for any book: "Did you identify with any character?" "What piece of advice would you give ____ (character)?" "What would you put on a mixtape for ___ (character)?"
5. Make sure whoever is moderating balances the conversation. Some people talk a lot, and can dominate a discussion. You can balance that by calling on quieter attendees to share their feelings, and bringing them into the conversation more.
6. If there are triggers in a book, make sure you remind people to be sensitive while discussing certain scenes. Sarah uses an oops/ouch system.
7. Bring snacks! Tell your attendees to bring snacks too. Snacks!
