Class Description
All art is a record of interior attention paid, reflects Carl Phillips in his essay collection My Trade Is Mystery: Seven Meditations From a Life In Writing. Taking the act of paying attention as our point of inspiration, this generative creative nonfiction writing class will center the act of making time for one's writing by focusing on creative process, accountability, and generating new work.
Designed for writers at any stage of their practice, our goal together will be to show up for our work and to create. Participants can expect to leave with a renewed writing practice, new work, and the personal satisfaction that comes from having prioritized one's art.
