The Monthly Writer’s Room
A monthly creativity and learning series for writers
This Creativity Seminar has ended.
The Writer’s Room is a series of monthly creativity seminars designed to help writers overcome limiting beliefs and fears that can inhibit their creative process.
Through structured discussions and exercises, you will:
- Get to the root of your creative roadblocks
- Reinvigorate your creative self
- Discover what might be holding you back from success
- Determine what you want to express in your writing
- Gain a community of writers who empathize with the challenges you face.
Each month, we will delve into a different topic and renew our inspiration and passion for writing. We will explore issues that plague writers:
- How to turn your life experiences into stories
- Accountability
- How to sustain a writing practice
- How to discover and communicate your unique perspectives
- How to know if you are “good enough.”
- How to run your own peer-to-peer writing & feedback group
- and much more.
We will facilitate self-discovery exercises and engage in round-table style discussions.
As Melanie Rothchild puts it in The Art of Mistakes, “You never know when, out of nowhere, something is going to happen that will embed itself in your gut.”
The Monthly Writer’s Room is an opportunity to recognize those vital moments and to learn more about yourself as an artist and as a writer.
Upcoming Seminars:
Discovering Your Life Stories, Significance, and Writing Your Passion
Your individual experiences and passions are unique and a strong source of compelling material for writing or art projects. Everyone has original stories just waiting to be shared with the world. In this creativity seminar, we will help you uncover forgotten life experiences and rekindle your passion for the ones you have. You will discover what is unique in your life experience and learn how to turn it into themes, narratives, and characters. We’ve all had experiences that have profoundly changed us. Learn how to share this experience with the world by turning it into a story that feels significant. This workshop is open to all creatives, writers, and artists alike who want to add to or develop a slate of themes and turn them into art or stories.
The Path to Self-Accountability
Writers often dismiss the idea of setting deadlines. While deadlines can feel counterintuitive to the creative process, deadlines can also jumpstart the imagination. Determine where your resistance lurks, pinpoint your time wasters, set reachable deadlines, and, most importantly, learn how to stick to them.
