Description and Reader Names: Saturdays 10am – 12pm October 10th – November 21st (6 sessions, no class 11-14) $100

In this generative writing workshop, we’ll endeavor to write out on a limb; dig deep into the bitter and sweet—the beautiful chaos of our lives. We’ll write from in-class prompts, generate new poems, essays or stories, and venture into a relationship with the unknown as well as each other in the writing group. What are our passions and obsessions and the questions burning within them? How can we resist easy and often sentimental answers in our writing? Which memories vibrate with special color, mystery, tension or trouble? Together we’ll find courage to unravel our often fragmentary grasp of the truths of our lives. We’ll look at revision as a way to stretch, complicate and mess up our first drafts to deepen our exploration. All writing levels are welcome. Bring a notebook!

Register with the WSCC by October 3rd. Direct questions to Laurie McMillan: writelife1@hotmail.com or Sheila Kelly: sheilakelly.writes@yahoo.com about this workshop and/or regarding partial scholarships from The Ella Fund.
