Note: This class is full! Click here to get on a special email list for a nudge when we open pre-registration next time.
Are you craving a deeper relationship with your stories? Do you long to write more — more bravely, more productively, and more deeply? Do you want to grab your writing dreams and pull them down to the page?
Here’s how it works:
We will meet every week for 12 weeks to spend a cozy evening writing, workshopping, and discussing our writing lives. The class will involve plenty of writing in the moment, with meaningful homework to keep the magic alive between sessions.
We’ll explore what real goal-making looks like, why it’s tricky, and what to do when those goals get besieged by the demands of life. Through ongoing dialogue and writing about our creative rhythms, we’ll create a space where you can learn what type of writer you truly are, and how to work from your comfort zone to maximize your productivity. We’ll also look at ways to share your work outside of class from tiny actions like sharing a piece with a beloved friend to larger ones like applying for grants and exploring publication.
Writerly gifts, small group feedback, and delicious home-baked goodies will be a-plenty.
This class is ideal for people who:
~ Have done a few writing classes and are ready to take what they have learned deeper.
~ Are looking for meaningful feedback, and are ready to give it to others.
~ Have time to commit to writing. (There will be homework!)
~ Are motivated by writing with others in a supportive, caring environment.
~ Are curious about what it might mean to share their work outside of a workshop.
You can expect to walk away with:
~ LOTS of new, completed work.
~ A community who shares the same path.
~ Warmups and activities to get you back to the page.
~ A deeper sense of what is possible in your creative life.
~ A clear idea of what makes your creative life thrive and what makes it wilt.
~ Courage, momentum, and new ideas.
This class won’t be a good fit for people who:
~ Have finished manuscripts that they are working to polish and publish. Please see Firefly’s Manuscript Services for this.
~ Think that writing thrives best on harsh and critical feedback.
~ Are looking for a very quick way to inject more creativity into their lives. This class asks for your time, commitment, and dedication.
