For all writers
Every relationship has its ups and downs, and your relationship with your writing is no exception. We sometimes grow apart through life’s changes, schedule shifts, or that nagging feeling that there must be something more out there.
It’s normal to find that what worked in our creative process ten years ago no longer feels right and to experience cycles of connection and disconnection. It’s what we do next that makes all the difference. It’s time to check in and honestly assess what’s working in our creative relationship and what’s not. To clarify what helps us write—and why—and establish a healthy and rewarding relationship with our creation.
Writers know that we need our writing to be at its best, but what we often don’t acknowledge is that our writing also needs us. Explore what it means to be in the right relationship with our writing, why it matters, and how to chart a flexible path forward together with communication, clarity and commitment. This experiential, process-based workshop includes generative writing exercises to help you reconnect with your writing, honoring the changes both of you have gone through over the course of your life together.
Can’t make it live? No worries—a replay will be available to all registrants.
We will be writing during this webinar! Come with an open mind, an active imagination, and writing tools.
