Just Write At Night

Five Monday Sessions

6 – 8 PM EST 

Dates: 11/10 – 12/8 

 

“Tell about the quality of light coming in through your window. Jump in and write. Don’t worry if it is night and your curtains are closed or you would rather write about the light up north—just write. Go for ten minutes, fifteen, a half hour.” -Natalie Goldberg

 

This prompt workshop is for writers who want to get started but don’t know how, writers in the midst of a project looking to generate new pages, or people who just want to write! (A writer is someone who writes). If you are searching for an “idea” or a “topic” to write about, you will discover many during our timed freewriting sessions. You’ll write to stories, poems, novels, images, film excerpts, plays, and more! Writers always have the option to share their freewrites but are never required. Craft lessons will be woven through positive feedback provided during each meeting. Discover the writer within you during these inspired five weeks!

 

In this class, you can expect:·

A warm, supportive environment.
Weekly follow-up emails with additional stories and essays, as well as more prompts to play with in between workshops.
Guidance about the writer’s life – including thoughts on how to get unstuck, and how to silence the critic.

Mondays
