Spring is springing and everything is blooming…except your writing! Maybe you’re in a rut, writing the same things over and over. Maybe you’re walking around with a shovel but you don’t know where to dig. Where do our best ideas come from? Where is our most fertile soil? How do we cultivate and plant the right seeds? In this workshop we will begin in truth, allowing our unique, sometimes challenging, but always necessary stories to burst and bloom as they travel from the heart to the page. We’ll use familiar and even radical methods of releasing narrative seeds, digging beyond first, second, and even third impulses until we find ourselves deep inside our own abundant source of inspiration and face to face with our muse(s). Finally!
This will be a 5-day online workshop format class with limited availability. Leave with up to 5 new drafts and plenty of renewed vigor to take you into your summer of writing. Come with an open mind and be prepared to play!
May 12-14 (SOLD OUT)
Do you have a story or stories that keep getting rejected? Have you been told you are CLOSE…but not quite? Have you looked at it so long you aren’t sure how to make it better? Do you have a pile of first drafts but you aren’t sure how to take them to the next level?
As serious writers, you know it’s through the re-visioning and editing process that we begin to refine and sculpt our messages. But sometimes you need another pair of eyes and a fresh perspective to see what you haven’t been able to see. In this workshop we will use the tools of ambiguity and implication; we will play with chipping and chopping; we will learn how to sculpt your text and we will figure out what’s missing? as I guide you and other participants to revise your real works in progress.
This will be a 3-day online workshop format class with limited availability. Each participant will have the opportunity to submit up to 2500 words in a positive, encouraging space.

Write a Flash Novel: All Meat and No Fat
Workshop Description: Do you have a Big Story Idea brewing but you don’t know where to begin? Have you been working on a traditional novel/creative nonfiction book, but you find yourself hitting a wall? Maybe you need a total perspective shift, a radical re-visioning of how to write a book?
Meet the “Flash Novel”, a breakout genre that draws on the skills of flash fiction to tell a large-scale story in a compact space. Existing at the intersection of the novel and flash fiction, the flash novel has both the scope and complexity of a novel and the ingenuity of flash fiction, delivering a sophisticated reading experience to a contemporary audience.
In this workshop, we will envision, draft, collage, and create momentum on your Big Idea. We’ll begin breaking it apart and making friends with the scope of it. For 90 minutes, we’ll get out of our own way, and you will discover the bones of your project as well as the enthusiasm and insight to know where to go next. Open to all writers, whether you have already started writing or the idea still lives in your head and heart. Come ready to play and rethink what you know about writing a book.
