Announcing an Ask-Me-Anything session—-
a free hour of Q & A on writing blocks, story craft, expansion of creativity; potent language, writing worlds, associative maps; un-choking the writing process; information on upcoming workshops; sharing by participants—writing at this time of upheaval, sorrow, rage, silencing and overwhelm.
Many of you know me as a creative writing teacher, a manuscript consultant, a fiction writer and poet—many do not. So, I would like to offer a free hour of zoom discussion of writing and organic story craft; an “ask-me-anything” meeting on writing issues. Participants’ sharing of where you are in relationship to writing and how the current times have impacted it, is welcome.
Yes, I would like you to work with me in the future, but here is a real, honest discussion for writers, geared to this time when it may be hard to express, and urgent to do so.
Please, join us!
Thursday, October 2nd, at 1:00 pm Eastern Time/NY; 10:00 am Pacific Time/LA; Ireland and UK 6:00 pm; France, Germany…7:00 pm Central European Time.
Do check your time zone for correct time of our meeting!
Open to all, register here: https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/67Q2TCY
If you forget to register but want to join, I will post the zoom link here on my Substack and on FB on October 2nd, while the US is sleeping and the UK and Ireland are having breakfast.
We all could use this good talk with this particular focus…
