Build a Morning Writing Practice (for Life) - Drop In Class
Build a Morning Writing Practice (for Life) - Drop In Class
We all know it’s too easy to get to the end of the day without getting a writing session in. So let’s build a sustainable habit together. We’ll write first thing in the morning, before our phones, inbox, loved ones, or professional lives have a chance to derail us. Build a habit in one month. In this class that meets Mondays through Fridays from 8:00-8:50 AM CST, we will focus on generating new writing—making headway on a current project, reviving an old project that’s been gathering dust, or writing based off of the daily prompts. The first 40 minutes of class is a gentle, camera-off, silent writing session. The remaining 10 minutes are an opportunity to share excerpts of our work, reflect on progress made, and set intentions for the following day. Some days we will read passage together on the writing life and we'll close each class with a new learning about artistic inspiration or habit formation.
