I’ll be offering another, all-new section of my
popular Right Brain Writing prompt classes at Politics & Prose bookstore in
DC (Connecticut Ave branch) on Wednesday, June 13. I’d love to see you there…we
have a lot of fun, and get some really interesting writing down on the page.
Right Brain
Writing: The Art of Losing
Wednesday, June 13
6:30 p.m.– 9 p.m.
Explore your creative side in this session, one of
a series of stand-alone classes with prompts designed to get your subconscious
flowing. Through guided exercises, we’ll focus on writing about the variety of
losses we have encountered in our lives, the large and small absences that
inform our landscape. Elizabeth Bishop calls it “the art of losing”; where is
the art in saying goodbye? No writing experience necessary! This is a great
class for beginners and also for those fiction writers and/or memoirists with
more experience who might be stuck in their current projects and are looking
for a jolt of inspiration. Our
goal is to have fun in a supportive, nurturing environment and to go home with
several promising pieces to work on further.
Please bring lots of paper and pen/pencil or a fully charged computer. Note:
new exercises!
