For my writing
workshop participants
and
anyone else interested in creative writing, that is, anyone who
feels a little monster inside roaring to get out, welcome!
Creative
writing can be playful, but it's also a craft and, like any craft,
there are many fellow craftsmen, both living and dead, from whom
we can learn. It's certainly easier to take a workshop from a
live person, however, and I am one at the moment, so do check
out my schedule.
While my writing workshops focus on practical aspects of the
craft, I believe creative writing is an Orphic journey that expands
consciousness, both for the writer and, ultimately, for the reader.
For more about that, be sure to see my reading list on the creative
life
and listen in to my podcasts of conversations with other writers.
Whether you take one
of my workshops or not, I invite you to make use of my recommended
reading lists,
listen to my podcasts (writing tips, interviews,
and more), and help yourself the on-line ebook, "Giant Golden
Buddha" & 364 More 5 Minute Writing Exercises.
Have a question? Betcha I've already answered it, or someone
else has, on my Resources
for Writers
page.
Wondrous wishes to you.
