Do you want to write more in the new year? Are you looking to jump-start your practice, make writing more fun or get out of a funk? Join me for another season of guided early-morning writing sessions meant to bring inspiration, community, light and lightness in the darkest part of the year. Using prompts customized to inspire our particular group along with gentle, structured feedback, we’ll kick-start our Friday mornings with creative work and listening. This early morning workshop is perfect for people who are looking for motivation to meet their writing goals while also struggling to find time to fit writing into busy lives. I’ll share all my core writing hacks for showing up, getting started, writing fluently, tapping into your creative flow state, listening, and, most important, outsmarting your inner critic (getting up early helps!). The idea here is to provide accountability but not take ourselves too seriously. Except we’re very serious about having fun and letting ourselves be moved. This virtual class is appropriate for writers of all levels.
We will meet, write freely together and give feedback via zoom for six 55-minute sessions, beginning at 6 a.m., January 9 to February 13. The workshop is open to 12 participants. This class has no homework and we are creating all new material, so it isn’t a place to work on projects already in progress, but instead a generative exercise in finding the seeds for new work. The cost is $225 per person. ($25 off for Yukon Island writers). You must have a working computer and internet connection. Bedhead welcome. Coffee recommended.

If you are still accepting people into your writing group I may be interested. Not sure I fit the norm for this as a retired 75 year old woman who lives in Florida. I lived in Alaska many years and I have been trying to write but get distracted.
Hi Helen — That writing group is full and underway, but you can sign up for the next session. I should be advertising it in a couple weeks!
