Announcing (Online and In-Person!) Mini-MFA Writing Workshops, March 2022
These workshops, one in person and one online, will share the writing and revision skills that make MFAs so useful! The class is limited to a select few of fiction and non-fiction prose writers. (Poets, you’ll get your turn soon.) If you want to hone your skills in a dedicated group of focused and evolving writers who want to build their strengths and reduce bad writing habits, join us! All feedback will be facilitated, supportive, focused and honest, and you will come out with a clearer sense of the writing process, adapted to your own writing practice.
Forget resolutions in 2022: Welcome a surprising year with a great question!
I’ve found a better way to transform my year creatively: ask a question that will guide me in exploring possibility all year long! One of my students years ago told me I asked impossible questions – and that’s what she loved about working with me, because she found amazing and unexpected answers as she explored. I’ve always pushed my writing forward with open-ended, challenging questions. But it wasn’t until two years ago that I opened up my life with them.
Just to let you know, these questions can open up your life without burdening you with excessive seriousness! I’ve found that when I ask an open-ended question (like the one that led to my year of photographing dinosaurs!), it recharges me whether it leads me to a year of play or to a year of diving into serious writing.
