Fall 2020: Writing No Matter What

September 12, 2020 @ 10:00 am - 12:00 pm

$150
Online, N/A, Portland, OR 97207

Walking the Path of Perseverance: Writing No Matter What

The writing journey, exhilarating and wondrous as it is, can be punctuated with delays and disappointments. How do you keep writing through chaos or a stressful live event? If you are tired of not writing, and want to cultivate the “stick-to-it-ness” necessary for meeting your goals, this workshop is for you. Gleaning inspiration and guidance from writers like Annie Dillard and Julia Cameron, and mining the well of our own life experiences, this three-part workshop will help us identify the obstacles that keep us from writing, and provide tools to help us stay the course so we can keep writing, no matter what.

Class level:
This class is for serious writers who are ready to reclaim their commitment to writing.

Class outcomes:
By the end of this three-part workshop, students will be able to:

● Identify the specific obstacles to their writing.
● Use specific tools to channel chaos, stress, and hardship into actual writing.
● Create and implement a writing schedule that works well for their needs.
● Identify their unique inspiration and implement it for work progression.
