COURTING THE MUSE:
FIVE DAYS OF CREATIVE AUDACITY AND RADICAL INSPIRATION TO REFRESH AND RE-INSPIRE YOUR WRITING
August 21-25
$199
SOLD OUT
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 allow our unique, sometimes challenging, but always necessary stories to burst and bloom 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).
This will be a 5-day online asynchronous workshop. Leave with up to 5 new drafts and plenty of renewed vigor to take you into the fall. Come with an open mind and be prepared to play!
GET PUBLICATION READY: 3-DAY REVISION WEEKEND
August 25-27
$175
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? 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 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 capped at 8 participants. You will have the opportunity to submit up to 2500 words in a positive, encouraging space.
Pop Lit: Elevating the Mundane to the Miraculous
August 28-September 1
$199
SOLD OUT
In this workshop we will engage with unexplored or under explored avenues of potential inspiration including pop culture, music, trends, politics, fashion and more to discover unusual angles and back doors into new ideas. We will actively blur the distinctions between low brow and high brow art, and elevate the mundane to the miraculous. We will try a variety of approaches and you will generate up to five original drafts. As always, come with an open mind and expect to play.
This will be a 5-day online asynchronous workshop open to writers with all levels of experience with the flash form.
Flash Flood: Write a Flash Novel (and Launch Your Big Idea)
September 11-22
$299
Is 2023 the year you finally write your book? Do you have an idea brewing, but you don’t know where to begin? Is it a flash novel? Novella? Collection? A regular novel or memoir or a million other things? Sometimes not knowing can stop us from getting started. Sometimes the scope of it feels overwhelming.
Flash Flood: Write a Flash Novel is my signature course designed to help you launch your Big Idea. For 10 days we will envision, draft, collage and create the momentum for that large-scale idea you’ve been wanting to tackle. We’ll begin breaking it apart and making friends with the scope of it, and in that process of discovery you will find momentum, insight, excitement, and sometimes a total pivot–that’s okay! For 10 days we’ll get out of our own way–10 days and a flurry of words and ideas and encouragement and camaraderie–and when it’s over you will have the bones (at least) of a longer project and a much better idea of where to go next.
