Explore deep waters safely, alongside me |

I invite you to join me at one of my writing workshops. During our time together, we’ll write from creative prompts I provide. I guarantee you'll have fun and leave with solid starts on several new writing projects. Writing time allowed for each prompt may be anywhere from three minutes to 15 minutes, depending on the predetermined length of the program and the number of participants. After each writing time, writers read their work to the group (if they want to), and group members comment on what they like, what they find strong, what they will remember. No criticism is allowed because, after all, works shared are brand-new, just-born writing. What can you learn without being criticized? Believe it or not, often much more than you learn if you are criticized. If we praise what’s strong, it grows stronger, and what isn’t as strong falls away of its own accord. Besides, there are plenty of places you can go where someone will tell you what they think you’re doing wrong. My approach is meant to be different. Attendance is limited to no more than 15 participants to ensure personal attention, and in a typical workshop we usually manage to write to three prompts. Session length can be adapted to meet the host organization’s needs. |

Hearing what others find memorable in your writing encourages you to do more of it. You also learn by listening to others read their work. What works for them may gives you ideas about how to stretch yourself. |
