What I try to do is write. I may write for two weeks ‘the cat sat on the mat, that is that, not a rat.’ And it might be just the most boring and awful stuff. But I try. When I’m writing, I write. And then it’s as if the muse is convinced that I’m serious and says, ‘Okay. Okay. I’ll come.” — Maya Angelou

Are you stuck in your writing process? Let's get unstuck. This seminar with Winter will be a practical approach to reconnecting with your impulse to get you moving. This class is especially helpful...for writers anywhere in their process--20 pages into revising your 18th draft or just getting started. Participants can expect to speak about their project, do some writing towards/on their play, connect with a group. There may also be time for a Q and A session. In a time of a pandemic, everyone stops to ask, does what I'm writing even matter? Why am I here? A) you're not alone and B) let's connect you to your initial impulse, it's your path forward. 

Important Things to Note:

  • This class is offered free of charge
  • This class will be offered online only
