SUMMARY:WEBINAR | Shake It Loose! Unexpected Prompts and Nudges to Spark “The Muse”
DESCRIPTION:Inspiration is tied to innovation\, and innovation is a deliberate act.\n\n\n\nFor Nonfiction\, Memoir\, and Fiction WritersIncluded in the upcoming Season PassThis webinar will be entirely interactive\, with varied suggestions\, nudges\, and obstructions carefully designed to uncover fertile new directions for your work\, whether you are looking to start something new or trying to regain momentum in your current work-in-progress.\n\n\n\nWell-meaning folks often ask about our “inspiration\,” as if some external force—an angel\, a bluebird\, the Muse—mysteriously slips a brilliant idea into our brain as we sleep\, and all we need do is wake up and write it down. Easy peasy!  \n\n\n\nBut it doesn’t work like that. Inspiration is tied to innovation\, and innovation is a deliberate act. We achieve success by being the ones who jump up from the rut of normal and predictable\, by walking bravely into an unexplored forest of fresh ideas and raw emotions\, and trusting we will find something worth writing about there. \n\n\n\nAnd how do we find these forests of artistic innovation? One of the surest ways is prompts and nudges\, as odd and varied as we can find.  \n\n\n\nThis approach can work wonders. And by the way\, it’s also fun! Bring a pencil or two\, some paper\, your brain\, and a willingness to go in unexpected directions. Shake it up and let’s write! \n\n\n\nCan’t make it live? No worries—a replay will be available to all registrants. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nIn this webinar\, you will:\n\n\n\n\nDISCOVER how to shake loose new ideas\, new angles and fresh perspectives\n\n\n\nLEARN the power of odd associations\, mixed signals\, curveballs\, and stretching the muscles of the imagination\n\n\n\nEXPERIENCE prompts and nudges that work to open up neural pathways\, and lubricate the imagination (and memory)\n\n\n\nUNCOVER fertile new directions for your work\n\n\n\nSURPRISE YOURSELF with new writing in new directions\n\n\n\n\nThis webinar is ideal for writers at any level who…\n\n\n\n\nworry that they keep writing the same thing or feel stuck in an established comfort zone\n\n\n\nare concerned that they have “run through” all of their good ideas\n\n\n\nfeel stuck on a current project (large or small)\n\n\n\nhave just finished a draft and desperately need a palate-cleanser\n\n\n\nare looking for fresh places to take future projects\n\n\n\nwant to have fun\, surprise themselves\, and take some chances\n\n\n\n\nClosed captioning is available. ✔All registrants receive the recording. ✔ \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nABOUT YOUR PRESENTER\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nOne of our most popular and beloved presenters\, DINTY W.
