Create a Writing Life that Works for You

Do you have to write every day to be a writer? No.
Do you have to write for hours at time, or only by hand, or only in coffee shops? Nope. (Not unless that's your thing.)
Is there just one way to be a "real" writer? Hell no!
Every writer (and every maker of any kind) has her own creative process. When you understand and honor yours, you will begin to create with more joy, more ease, and more fun. The Writing Life online class gives you techniques, ideas, and experiments to help you figure out what kind of writing practice works for you and whatever crazy kind of life you have.
I believe that writing is both art and craft.
Writing is something we have to practice. We practice as a musician practices scales, and we create a writing practice, a rhythm, a ritual, a deliberate act of concentration and dedication. These things don't usually come automatically, even to the best of writers. If you want to have a consistent, prolific, and joyful writing life, you have to create it -- and then practice doing it.
Do you know what works for you? For years, I didn't understand my own creative preferences, and I even fought against them, thinking that there was a "right" way to write. (I was a victim of the Myth of the Real Writer.) But over the past few years, I've begun to consciously create a writing life that works for me. In this class, I show you how to create a writing life that works for you.
The Writing Life: Rituals, Rhythms, & Practices starts this Sunday (March 15). Registration for the 4-week class (plus the online community and course ebook) is just $49. Join the fun, and create a writing life that you LOVE!

A roller derby girl!! I love it!
I don't know much about taking an online course, but the description of yours intrigues me. Can you tell me what time the classes are? Other info would be helpful too. Thank you!
