Do you find yourself wanting to write but then life gets in the way? Or you finally carve out some time, sit down, and the writing won’t come? This is a class to make writing happen. We meet for two hours every week for eight weeks, and we’ll work through guided writing exercises designed to give you a jump-start if needed, but also malleable enough for you to take in the directions you need to go. Sometimes we’ll read a short piece together to get this rolling. Sometimes we’ll dive right in. All levels of experience and expertise are welcome. You might have never written before, or you might have won a Pulitzer: the only prerequisite for this class is the desire to write. If you’re already working on a project - that works! The exercises are designed so that they can be applied to your specific need, or to be approached with a clean slate, it’s up to you. Every session will include an opportunity for participants to share work they’ve written in class, maybe taken home and polished a little. Together we'll build a community where we create together and support each other, through the accountability of showing up, the sense of achievement in making something, and the satisfaction of sharing our best work in a safe space with like-minded individuals. Let’s do it.
Participants can join this class in person or via Zoom. For the zoom link, please email info@Lighthousewriters.org after registration.
Please note: there is no formal critique or feedback offered. In this class, we write!
