Wild Angels Brave the Cold- Wings Don’t Freeze

Saturday, February 7th, 2009

The fifth class met on another bitterly cold evening. Our numbers were slim but we still managed to write, using the proprioceptive method, work-shopped our homework and managed not to have time for our in class assignment.
How does that happen? Reading and reviewing our work takes time. We had poetry that was involved and needed [...]

Making Your Writing Time Sacred

Friday, January 16th, 2009

In our writing class we have been discussing how to make time for our writing.  I’m guilty of putting my writing on the back burner and making time for idleness, TV, twittering, anything but my writing.
I know many people who have changed their lives to become writers and do anything but write.
What can you [...]

Today’s Take Action Prompt: Writing in a Form

Wednesday, May 7th, 2008

Try writing in a form. In poetry, play with an acrostic or a more complicated form such as Terza Rima.
Two excellent resources are: The New Book of Forms: A Handbook of Poetics by Lewis Turco and The New Princeton Encyclopedia of Poetry and Poetics by Alex Preminger (Editor), et al. Even if you don’t write [...]

Today’s Take Action Prompt: Create your own wild garden of creativity.

Wednesday, January 30th, 2008

First, get outside. Take along your pen and paper, even a camera or drawing pad. Walk around your neighborhood and see it for the first time. Imagine you are a tourist. What is your first impression? Notice the colors, smells and sounds of where you live. Write about it from that point of view. If [...]

Wednesday, January 23rd, 2008

Write one more time. Each day write 50 words. Pick a topic or not. Observe - what do you see? Touch - what are the sensations? Listen - hear a piece of conversation and then write a story about it. You can write more but not less. Write with a friend. Go to the park [...]
