Hello, Writers!
For the Artist's Way Workshop group it's "Reading Deprivation" week. This has had a huge impact on my week. I read a lot both professionally and personally. No novel this week on my daily walks. No news consumption beyond a few headlines that passed before my eyes. It really changes your view of the world when you aren't consuming the news and stories other put before you. I share because taking a break from reading has not only quieted my mind a bit, but it's also given me a lot of extra time this week and that might benefit you, too.
The Writer Workshop has three online events scheduled this week:
Tonight, Monday, February 1, at 7:30 pm Eastern (4 pm Pacific): Feedback and Critique. If you're interested in reading 5-6 pages of your work and receiving feedback from other writers, join us. The cost is $5. Register for the Critique & Feedback webinar.
Tuesday, February 2, at 7pm. The Artist's Way Workshop. Beginning January 5th, I'm starting an Artist's Way Workshop. It'll run for thirteen weeks and we'll take the journey together through Julia Cameron's creative empowerment guide, The Artist's Way. This is the last week to join us.
Thursday, February 4, at 1 pm Eastern (10 am Pacific): Fiction through Prompts. In this online, video conference webinar, you'll learn about a literary device and we'll write to a high-end prompt for 25 minutes and then, the group shares the results and offers feedback. The cost is $10. Register for the Prompt Writing webinar.
The Elements of Fiction webinars (Character, World Building, Plot, Pacing, and more) are available for on-demand viewing. Click to learn more....
