Pre-Writing Strategies for Blocked, Stuck or Otherwise Frustrated Writers

This class is for anyone who wants to write but doesn’t know where to start.

It’s different from the personal writing course because you can do anything with the material presented here – write fiction, write essays, start a memoir, or even a poem. What you do with this is your business.

There are four courses or sections, and they each take anywhere from 30 minutes to an hour to complete.

The first class is Tapping into Vulnerability. Because to write is to share and to share is to be vulnerable. This is only for you. It’s up to you where you take it, or even if you want to take it.

The following three classes build on one another.

The second course is Finding Our Symbols. These are the objects that hold certain meaning in our lives. 

In the third course, Retracing Our Steps, we travel back in time to locate our objects, and write about them from three perspectives – sensory, interpersonal and as ourselves, returning to the scene with what we now know.

In the fourth class, Connecting the Pieces, we will put it all together, to build a story database that can become a launch pad into the next phase of your writing life.

Let’s go.
