Hello Writers!
Many creatives are having trouble working during this time. There are so many questions and challenges that seem to be zapping the creative energy of folks. In that spirit, I read Austin Kleon's Keep Going: Ten Ways to Stay Creative in Good Times and Bad. I like Kleon's books. They're inspiring, easy reads with some good takeaways. I'm sharing in case you feel you need a little something extra to show up at the page.
The Writer Workshop continues its virtual, online opportunities this week. And, there's a new addition.
Tonight, Monday, May 4th, at 7 pm Eastern (4 pm Pacific). Feedback and Critique. If you're interested in reading 5-6 pages of your work and receiving feedback from other writers, join us. The cost is $5.
Thursday, May 7, at 1 pm Eastern (10 am Pacific). Fiction through Prompts. In this online, video conference webinar, you'll learn about a literary device and then write to a high end prompt for 20-25 minutes. Then, we share the results and offer feedback. The cost is $10. Register for the Prompt Writing webinar.
For the online events, you don't need any special software. Just register and then click the link at the meeting time to join us.
In the meantime, Stay Safe!
Enjoy the journey!
