Writer's Workshop

LIVE instead of exist. connect instead of compete. CREATE instead of compare.

What if you could stop wishing, worrying, fixing, drifting, waiting, comparing and competing and COME ALIVE AGAIN?
What would you share with the world if you could stop being afraid? What if you could reconnect with your purpose and the inspired spark in your soul? What if you were surrounded with a group of others seeking their true voices and celebrating their stories?

These were the questions I asked myself in 2005 when I began work on my first novel. Since then, I’ve taught workshops to hundreds of writers from all walks of life who face the same questions. I founded TINDERBOX WRITERS WORKSHOP as a declaration, a prayer, an intention and a guide to inspire others to connect through their stories and learn to live from their
Creative Core...their Tinderbox, where we all have the tools to create a spark!
Join me. Join us.
Because we all have a journey to take, a truth to speak and a story to tell!

Workshop Description

In our 2-hour creative writing sessions, you’ll will be challenged to engage in the habits of living from your Creative Core. You’ll also learn to tell your story by using the tools of fiction-writing (point-of-view, plot, characterizing detail, tone, etc.). Writers will consider examples of published works and determine how various literary techniques were applied through the lens of mindfulness to craft complete and unique stories that take risks, tell truths and make connections. Through fun prompts and exercises, you’ll put these techniques to use in your own original work. In-class critiques as well as feedback from the instructor will help you further develop the potential of your writing and truly find your voice. The eight weeks ends with a party! You’ll have the chance to share your work, surrounded by the support of the Tinderbox community, through open-to-the-public readings.
