Description
Are you interested in writing for the first time, or after years away, or just curious for ways to build up a writing routine amidst a busy schedule? This generative class will provide craft advice, inspiring readings, accountability techniques, and writing prompts to kickstart your creative practice, all rooted in observations of the natural world. Class time will be both inside and (weather dependent) outside, with exercises that will build your skills whatever genre you are pursuing–whether fiction, nonfiction, or poetry, we will explore how our creative lives can be nourished by observation of the natural environment and its more-than-human inhabitants.
