The Writing Life: Rituals, Rhythms, & Practices (Starts March 15!)

The next session of The Writing Life starts next week. I love this online class because it looks at all the little choices we make that add up to having -- or not having -- a fulfilling writing life.

Whether you realize it or not, you make a lot of decisions when you choose to write (or choose not to write).

Sometimes subtle shifts in these choices can make a big difference in your writing.

This class will help you to answer these kinds of questions, which will empower your writing life:

• Do you think before you write, or do you write in order to think?
• Do you write best to music or in silence?
• Are you a linear or an associative thinker? And what does that mean for how you write?
• Do you write best with pen and paper or on a keyboard?
• Can you sit and write for hours on end, or do you work better in shorter bursts?
• Do you really have to write every day in order to be a writer?
• How can outlines, index cards, and mindmaps support (or hinder) your writing?
• Which of these words motivates you more: discipline or enthusiasm?
• How can the physical objects around you make you feel more inspired and focused?
• How can you stoke your creativity when you're not writing?

I created this class because the topic of the writing process comes up all the time with writers at all levels of experience. I've had similar conversations with brand new writers and with published authors. All of us writerly types are looking for ways to make our writing lives easier and more prolific. 

This class is for you if you want to stress less and write more.
(I want that! Don't you?)

By taking this class, you'll unravel the misconceptions and myths of what being a "Real Writer" looks like. 

You'll tap into your creative energy and unleash it in a sustainable way.

You'll learn techniques for transforming your perceived weaknesses into the strengths of your writing life.

You'll figure out what it will take for you to write more.

You'll deepen your writing life. 

And you'll probably start to have a lot more fun in the process!

Class starts next week (March 15). Registration and full details are over here.
