Four Tuesdays: Oct. 11, Oct. 18, Oct. 25 and Nov. 1 from 10 a.m. to noon ET NOTE: CLASS MEETS at Farmers Fishers Bakers in Georgetown, Washington, D.C.
Class will meet at Farmers Fishers Bakers. Address: The Washington Harbour, 3000 K St NW, Washington, DC 20007
We will start each class with free writing (brainstorming, writing in response to a prompt or writing.) There will be the option to share some of what we wrote together and ask questions. Craft suggestions, exercises and resources will be offered. The final class will include writing a list of tangible short and long-term goals for ourselves to help keep up and build on this practice.
The course goals will be to:
Develop a regular writing habit
Consider what can be accomplished from these starts (longer projects that require editing and revising)
Discuss ways to integrate a regular practice into our lives
Join a community of writers
By the end of the class, you’ll have some drafts you might choose to build on, techniques to keep up the practice of regularly writing, resources to help you improve your craft and a community of people interested in the same. Many of my writing workshops have ended with the participants forming their own writing groups. You might choose to do this or continue your practice on your own.
