Thanks to everyone who joined us for the live class in early August. The course site is now open to all, including a one-on-one video version of the live course. Please register to view the course slides, video, and resources. Come on in!


Join us for this FREE class to use the science of Play and Flow to bring joy and ease to your creative writing practice. In this 90-minute session, instructor Gina DiPonio will lead you on a Choose Your Own Adventure to create a writing situation and, ultimately, ongoing practice that frees you to more quickly get into your writing groove, stay there, and return at will. This session includes generative prompts to get you writing, and participants will have the option to interact with each other and share some of what they write.


Before the session, you will receive a link to take part in the course via email. After the session, a video of the content will be available for FREE on this site through September 30, 2021.
