We’ve left it open for you, so you don’t even need one of those little keys. Because writing is life, and keeping it real means forgoing the line between the personal and the professional.
Winter Workshop: Writers In The Flow State
Mark your calendars for
Thursday, Dec. 3rd at 4pm Pacific/7pm Eastern
(and RSVP HERE).
This workshop will detail the essential ingredients of a well-thought-out writing session, helping writers better understand their subjects and develop their material.
No subject is off limits in this gathering:
- The many varieties of music, including none at all
- How much and what kind of other people’s literature to read beforehand
- The right chair and desk height
- The role of divination cards, and other ways to connect with your spirit
- How to take notes about other aspects of your project without breaking your concentration on the thing you are writing right now
- The use of totems and making at least some of them fun, because a very important part of creativity is to playing
- And more!
We will also talk about the most important aspect of a writing session: arriving with, and keeping, a clear mind. A meditation for writers will be introduced with the purpose being to take non-related thoughts that arise while you are at the desk and give them a little boost to get them on their way out of here.
Does a writing ritual enhance the quality of the work? Does it enhance the efficiency of the process? Does it make it more fun? Yes, yes, and yes.
We can’t promise you a flow state experience, of course, but we can help you craft an approach that greatly improves your chances of attaining one. The hope is simply that you learn your process, and perhaps evolve your process. And, of course, that you do your process — each and every time — and not skimp on what works for you.
