The Writing Life Starts Monday

Just a quick reminder that the next online session of The Writing Life: Rituals, Rhythms, & Practices starts on Monday (June 30). There's still time to join us.

This class is all about creating a writing life that you love -- and one that works with your whole life. From where you write to how you approach the blank page, the topics in this class will take a comprehensive look at the internal and external aspects of your writing life. The exercises, lessons, and experiments will empower you to mindfully create practical (and enjoyable) systems that work for you

Writing is hard enough on its own. We can set ourselves up for success by choosing how we think about writing and how we actually put words down on the page.

I'm using the techniques of this class to create a more prolific, sustainable, and enjoyable writing life for myself.

Summer Vacation (In The Word Cellar)

nantucket sunset, 8 august 2010

As you may have gathered from this week's ::By Post:: (a collaborative project of virtual postcards), I'm living the island life on Nantucket for a few days. In the spirit of a good old fashioned summer vacation, I'm taking a week off from my In The Word Cellar writing posts. In the meantime, I invite you to stroll through the archives.

I also hope you'll check out the first In The Word Cellar course, Alchemy: The Art & Craft of Writing. I'm really excited about this online writing course for creative souls and hope you'll join us for lessons on the craft of writing, inspiration, and supportive community. You can find more information here and sign up to be on the mailing list here. I'll send out more information about the course (including registration details) in the coming weeks.

Stay tuned from another ::By Post:: postcard this evening....

In The Word Cellar normally runs on the second and fourth Wednesday of the month. Read other posts in the series here.
