Thanks to everyone who joined us for the live class in August. The course site is now open to all, including a trimmed recording of the live course, a one-on-one version of a writing game, and an opportunity for feedback on your writing. Come on in!


Join us for a FREE session designed to get words on the page, draft for discovery, and give you a sense of what to keep pursuing after the class. We'll play around with ways to both generate and pursue ideas that come from and stoke passion on the page. Let's play!


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.
