Online Creative Writing Workshop: Coming Home To Writing
Sorry this class is full!
You want to write.
You are saturated with stories and ideas. It’s natural and it’s beautiful, and it’s also really hard. You need a little direction, a little courage, and a little love. This class will give you all three.
Coming Home to Writing is a class for people who want to have fun with words, connect with their true voices, ask big writerly questions, and create, create, create…all while staying at home in their PJs.
Here’s how it works:
We’ll meet live and online every week for 90 minutes over the course of seven weeks. You’ll see and hear Chris streaming live from Firefly Headquarters while you share your writing and comment on each others’ on a secret Facebook group. Together, each week, we’ll work through a BUNCH of short, fun writes. We’ll fly our fingers across our keyboards splashing our memories and imaginations onto the screen. We’ll expand our reach and experiment with new voices. We’ll share. We’ll support each others’ brave, tender voices. We’ll produce a ton of new work.
Between sessions Chris will read a bunch of what’s been shared and send out a “Taking it Deeper” email, with optional extra assignments and resources to help you sink more fully into your creative life. She’ll also send out a recording of the online session, in case you missed it.
Oh, and mail! At some point during the class, you’ll receive a gorgeous package in the mail filled with goodies and resources to support and treat your creative life.

This class is ideal for people who:
~ Feel a creative pulse, but haven’t listened to it in a while.
~ Struggle to make time for their creative projects, or even to dream up creative projects.
~ Used to write, but have lost touch with that spark.
~ Have wandered away from the joy of words.
~ Want to understand their creative selves more deeply.
You can expect to walk away with:
~ Lots of short new writes.
~ A renewed sense of your unique gifts as a writer.
~ Friends who are on the same path.
~ Advice and materials to support you in nurturing your creative life.
~ Courage, momentum, and a feeling of dizzying possibility.
This class won’t give you:
~ Critique or competition. We believe that creative seeds need love and support to grow.
~ Strict rules on “how to write”. This class is for loosening up and getting it done—not worrying about doing it perfectly.
~ Pressure to write things you don’t want to write. We go where the joy is!
~ Iron-clad discipline. You get out of this class what you put into it.

What people are saying:
 | The Coming Home to Writing class helped me put on new glasses so I could see Me -- the writer Me that is audacious, spunky, authentic and full of important truth. I am grateful for the sweet space that Chris creates to make this happen. ~ Lee Miller Website Designer & WordPress Coach Pink Bubble Gum Websites |
 | Showing your writing to other people can be quite intimidating, and I feel like Chris not only makes her classes a safe haven, but a creative playground as well. Her enthusiasm is infectious and soon you will realize, “There is no way to do this wrong.” Firefly Creative Writing is where I’ve met my creative and kindred match. ~ Amy Artist, writer |
 | As a beginner writer, I was a little apprehensive being in a group of experienced writers. Chris was very inviting and I felt as much a part of the group as the next person. I loved all her projects and assignments and felt encouraged to continue after the class was over. Chris has a gentle voice throughout each class which made it very relaxing for me as I did the writing assignments. I also loved the poetry she picked to read to us. I would recommend this class to all levels of writers. I would definitely do it again! ~ Haidee Sullivan Holistic Health Coach |
