Hi writers!
I want to let you all know that I’m offering three new writing services
beginning this fall:
First, college essay writing consultations
for college-applying high school seniors. This is something I’ve done
unofficially for many years and am finally starting to include as part of my
business. College essays are bite-sized memoirs and I love working with them.
Second, a full-day Saturday writing workshop on the theme of “Hero’s
Journey Narratives.” It will take place on October 6, run from 10am-5pm, cap at
8 writers, and include a healthy lunch, snacks and tea. The workshop’s goal is
to generate the same amount of quality writing as in a usual 5-week workshop,
with the marathon intensity of a single day. Cost is $120.
Third, weekend writing retreats at the beautiful Writing Shed at Floral
Lane – a tiny zen-house that has bed, kitchen, bathroom, desk, and is an
inspiring place to make art. These retreats last two nights and include three
delicious meals each day & one hour-long writing consultation: a perfect
writer’s vacation!
Please email me if you are interested in learning more about any of
these. I’ll make the information public on my website this week.
Have wonderful days and weeks –
Elisabeth
PROCESS: PERIPHERAL
FOCUS = BRILLIANT IDEAS
Where do you get your best ideas? Is it, by any chance, while
driving, doing reps at the gym, cleaning, or taking a shower? Many writers find
that performing mundane repetitive tasks frees the creative mind. Similar to
how certain stars are visible only if looked at peripherally, some great ideas
only come when the thinker is focusing on some rote other task.
Try this: Create a net for catching those brilliant
ideas as they come: whether a scuba slate in the shower or a voice recorder in
the car.
FEATURED VENUE: 32
POEMS
You’ll find
such lovely and unusual poems in this independent journal. 32 Poems publishes poems that fit onto a single page, under 32
lines.
