Write Your Year Writing Workshop -July
There’s a diverse and inviting tradition of daily writing as a way to document a year – or a life! In this generative writing workshop series we’ll look at (and create!) a variety of forms of writing meant to be used as a daily or weekly practice in the year ahead.
Play with poetry, flash fiction, simple sentences, and other forms of creative writing to test the format you might want to return to throughout the year. We’ll look at Ross Gay’s Book of Delights, Chris La Tray’s One Sentence Journal, haiku by Richard Wright, and more. We’ll experiment with a variety of formats and prompts to kickstart a year-long writing practice that will expand your skills and build a substantial body of work.
Whether you want to write a short poem every day or a longer essay once a month, committing to a regular practice will deepen your experience as a writer and your experience of your year!
