The tuition for this workshop includes a signed copy of Donna Freitas’s latest book Wishful Thinking: How I Lost My Faith and Why I Want To Find It
Join us for a generative morning of reflecting on the deep, down WHY’s of our writing projects, and how a turn inward to explore our own personal struggles, unfinished business, wishes, longings, and so many other intimate things, can be one of the best gifts we give to our work.
In this workshop we will:
– Discuss and explore individual writing processes.
– Consider new possible approaches to our writing.
– Discuss the influence of audience on our work (for better and worse).
– Spark new ideas for a current writing project/help to recenter a current writing project / get unstuck on a writing project.
– Potentially spark new ideas for a next/new writing project.
Bring yourselves, something to write with, and an openness to discussion.
