Write it OUT!
V I A Z O O M & I N PERSON
Writing is a way of processing emotions, of gaining insight, of jettisoning negative energy. The act of writing heals us, especially when we can come together in a safe environment with kindred spirits. We will meet via Zoom. I will give a prompt and we will write together for 10-15 minutes and then each person will have an opportunity to read their work to the rest of the group. There is NO critiquing going on, just LOVE. We come together to encourage each other and to bear witness. Reading out loud is powerful, especially when everyone is telling you what they loved. Focus is on the writing, not the subject matter. I follow the AWA guidelines for facilitation. You can find about more about the method by clicking on the Writing Workshops link above.
I am an affiliate in the Amherst Writers & Artists method. I underwent 40 hours of intensive training to earn my affiliate status. Clink on the writing workshops tab to learn more about the Amherst method. I also have an MFA in Creative Writing.

We are going to make art together, and I bet you have all you need sitting around your house. Contrary to what some people believe, you don't need any fancy art stuff to create work that will leave you with a great sense of well-being and calm assurance. Gather up what you have in your junk drawers! Pens, pencils, paint if you have it...even potatoes and carrots make good stamps. Old magazines, wallpaper, wrapping paper...you get the idea. We will create with what we have at hand. No pressure, no competition. The power is in the process, not the outcome. This art-making practice has seen me through some of the most difficult times in my life, and I want to share it with you.

Sometimes we need encouragement, sometimes we need a gentle kick in the butt. I love helping people getting started with and completing creative projects. Are you blocked? Discouraged? Lost? I'm your girl! I've been a writer all my life...a serious writer for the past 35 years who has published and won prizes (not to toot my horn, just to say that I have been in the trenches for many moons). For some people, feeling competitive with other artists works as a way to stay motivated. That has never worked for me. Over the years, I've learned some tools and tricks that might be useful to you. Let's talk and discover how I can be of help.
