Writing Class with Eanlaí Cronin

• Do you long to find a simple way to access your core creative content?
• Would you like to establish writing as part of your daily practice?
• What would it be like to share your insights and writing challenges with a community of writers trying to find their voices?
• And how about demystifying the submission process?

Then join us for this six week writing intensive where we will:

Examine the self as character: Using the Amherst Writers and Artists Method,  we will delve into the body of beliefs, behaviors and back-story that inform self as character or a fictional character you are creating. We will write to specific prompts during each class with time for three writing exercises. Each prompt will build upon the last, providing insight and understanding that will continue to manifest long after the journey is over. Whether you are working on memoir, fiction, poetry or recovery, this is a great opportunity to engage your voice in surprising new ways and generate fresh, compelling content.

Establish a daily writing practice: Using a simple structure I have devised over many years as a writer and teacher, we will create a framework within which we claim room for our daily process. This sets forth a practice that can trickle down and benefit all other areas of one’s life where discipline,  limiting beliefs, fears and goal-setting have been a challenge.

Exchange weekly reports: Using an easy-to-follow format, we will share each week our progress, obstacles and observations. The weekly check in system provides a wonderful opportunity to create camaraderie and community with other writers speaking freely and from the heart about their challenges in creating and sticking to writing as part of their spiritual practice. I will also provide suggested places for submitting completed pieces and invite submission suggestions from writers as we move through our six weeks together.
