Last night the Women Writing the World
Workshop was a tremendous success. Although the threat of disaster prevented
many women from participating seven women did in fact show up to write
together, to create together, to expose themselves and to excavate. These writers wrote from their SOULS!
There were thirty women who answered
the call and I brought all thirty of you into the circle. It was powerful,
profound, intense, courageous, beautiful, painful, honest and raw. The women
worked HARD! They wrote LONG! They wanted to continue writing. Four hours
wasn't enough. The writing styles varied... each woman different... yet what
they do have in common is that they each have an incredibly important story to
tell and they came READY TO TELL IT.
After having some time to reflect on
this journey with them, if I am being honest, last nights writers workshop left
me completely depleted in the most amazing way.
The women who braved this writer’s
workshop went there…. They really went there. These writers were fearless.
Their stories IMPORTANT. Each of them showed up not knowing what to expect and
left having created something incredibly profound. They will never know how
honored I felt to share that space with them. I want to them to know that I
hold each of them and honor who they are and where they come from. I am
grateful they showed up. To the writers unable to join us you were missed, but
definitely not forgotten.
For those women who were unable to
attend last nights writing workshop I decided to offer it again for FREE, next
Sunday, November 4th from 5pm - 7pm.

The Writing With Intention Workshop is a six-session writing intensive. In
this workshop we get down to the business of writing. Here you will receive
writing prompts and exercises to push you further in your writing practice. It
is about Writing with Intention! When we sit down at our computers or in front
of our journals do we set an intention for what it is we would like to explore
in our stories? Do we ask our characters where they would like to take us? In
this workshop we will begin at the beginning exploring our writing styles and
process, discovering and listening to our voice, surrendering and trusting the
process, story structure, re-writes and arriving to completion.
It is about
being clear about what we are here to do… and getting right down to it! It’s
about writing. As 2012 comes to a close I would be honored to support you in
beginning or moving toward that thing you are dying to write. It’s about
setting an INTENTION to move forward no matter what obstacles arise. Nothing
before this moment matters.
Dates: Nov. 11,
18, 25 and Dec. 2, 9, 16
