SUMMARY:Write Like You’re Swimming:  From Self-Doubt to Compassion and Creative Flow
DESCRIPTION:Do you have a character who just won’t talk to you? Did you write a story full of action\, but the emotional arc is missing something? In this supportive workshop\, writers will slip into their inner emotional reservoir\, be it a lake\, swimming pool\, creek\, or ocean where emotions flow freely and the water buoys us. Through guided meditations\, writing exercises\, and reading excerpts of big-hearted\, emotionally courageous literature\, writers of fiction and nonfiction will develop more self-connection\, feel compassion for themselves as writers as well as for their characters\, and care for their nervous system during the writing process\, so they can enjoy more flow\, catharsis\, and joy. \nClass Goals:\nLearn meditation techniques for melting creative blocks\nLearn to ease anxiety and overwhelm in the writing process\nCreate authentic\, memorable characters\nConnect with the heart of your writing project \nAccess Program\nWe want our writing classes and seminars to be accessible to everyone\, regardless of income and background. We understand that our tuition structure can present obstacles for some people. Our Access Program offers writing class and seminar tuitions at a reduced rate. Most writing classes have at least one access spot available. \nPlease apply here for access rate tuition. Contact Susan Moore at susan@literary-arts.org if you have questions. \nLiaison position\nEvery in-person class and seminar at Literary Arts has one liaison position. Liaisons perform specific duties for each class meeting. If you are a liaison for a class or seminar\, the full amount of your tuition is covered by Literary Arts. \nApply here for the liaison position.
