Just a quick reminder that the Writer’s Center Open House will be this Saturday (September 6), from noon to three p.m. in Bethesda. Details here. Hope to see you there!
I will be teaching two NEW & EXCITING classes this fall (as opposed to the “old & boring” classes I usually teach—ha, ha). Please pass along this information to anyone who may be interested:
Set Your Prose Free Through Collage: A One-Night Workshop
Get a fresh view on your fiction, memoir, and/or poetry through the imaginative use of collage and found objects. This hands-on, exercise-intensive, free-flowing, intimate workshop is appropriate for beginners looking for inspiration and for intermediate writers who might be feeling a bit stuck with their project…and everyone in-between! Participants should be prepared to do lots of writing—please bring a pen/pencil (unfortunately, a computer will not be effective here). Note: Due to the nature of this class, we must limit the class size to 15. You’ll be surprised at what you may discover in only one night!

7 PM to 10:00 PM
Note: This is similar to a collage class that I tried out at the Writers at the Beach Conference, that if I do say so myself, ended up being a remarkable experience. You can read more about it here.
Registration and details can be found here.
Flex Your Creative Muscles! A One-Day Workshop
Spend the afternoon doing a series of intensive, guided exercises designed to shake up your brain and get your creative subconscious working for you. You can come with a project already in mind and focus your work toward a deeper understanding of that—or you can come as a blank slate (that will quickly fill up!). Fiction writers and memoirists of all levels are welcome. Please bring lots of paper and pen/pencil or a computer with a fully charged battery. Note: This class will not repeat any of the instructor’s previous exercises, so feel free to attend even if you’ve taken one of her classes before!
