One of my most
enjoyable days this year was the writing
workshop I hosted last summer on Zoom,
where folks came from around the US to
spend a day working on our Creative
Writing. I truly had not expected to be
so deeply moved again and again. I think
it was the uniqueness of each person’s
voice. Almost every time someone read,
it brought me to tears.
This autumn
I’m hosting another and we’ll write
together several times that day. In
those 20-minute writing sessions, we
quietly go to work with a writing prompt
and it seems to spark a rare freedom in
each person. The results were beyond all
expectation.
This
gathering is for all levels. While
professional writers do sometimes join
us, most are people who simply love to
write and who see the value in allowing
your mind to flow onto the page. This
non-competitive gathering is meant to
inspire you and spark your creativity
and help you to let go and write what
comes to mind without censoring yourself
as it flows. No one has to read aloud
what they write — but each person may if
they wish. I think you’ll be surprised
at how safe and honored you feel. I hope
you join us. And yes, I’ll sing some
songs too. ~Michael
