WEBINAR | Finding and Writing Your Joy: The Unexpected, the Inexplicable, and the Lovely
WEBINAR | Finding and Writing Your Joy: The Unexpected, the Inexplicable, and the Lovely
November 12 @ 3:00 pm – 4:15 pm EST
For All Writers
There is no darkness without light. Find the light, and write it.
We can forget, when the world presses hard upon us, that one of our responsibilities is to locate joy. To feel it. And, if we are writers, to make room for it on our pages. In this craft workshop we’ll rediscover the joy in writers like Brian Doyle, Ross Gay, and Mary Oliver, explore how language works to connect ourselves and our readers with joy, and bring our voices to the page with complexity and surprise.
We’ll think of joy in all its manifestations—as happiness, as light, as entertainment, as awareness, as epiphany. We’ll pause to consider simple prompts. We’ll think about the pairing of joyful verbs and the avoidance of cliché. We’ll find joy, together. A workshop for all ages, all genres, and all frames of mind.
Can’t make it live? No worries—a replay will be available to all registrants.
In this webinar, you will:
- REDISCOVER the writers who have mastered joy
- BECOME PROFICIENT in surprising turns of phrase
- LEARN HOW to modulate your voice—soft to loud, loud to exultant
This webinar is ideal for writers who are…
- Seeking to build complexity into their work
- Wishing to sidestep cliche as they write toward joy
- Hoping to more completely access and write their emotional life
Closed captioning is available. ✔
