Summer Writing Space: Online Group
Posted on 29. Jun, 2010 by joanna in Info
“To be disciplined as a writer you need a compassionate and welcoming attitude toward your own work, and you need the support of others who value and call forth your writing.” Pat Schneider (Writing Alone and With Others)
An experiment for the summer.
An online writing group, creating the space for you to:
- share some pieces of writing (especially the ones you’re not ready to let go into the wider world)
- tap into the energy and enthusiasm of others
- enjoy the support of others who ‘value and call forth your writing’
- explore and experiment, maybe, with some different styles and voices (in a safe space)
- develop and maintain regular writing practice over the summer
How it will work:
- A space (on Ning) to share pieces of writing and other materials (photos, reflections on process and so on)
- A small group (maximum 20 participants)
- A time limited programme (6 weeks) but long enough to develop writing habits
- Supported and facilitated by me (with some prompts, but generally just to hold the space)
- Cost: £20 / $30
- Dates: July 19 – August 30
