Chasing Inspiration: Creating a Joyful Writing Habit
Lighthouse Writers Workshop (VIRTUAL CLASS via ZOOM)
Friday, June 26
2:00 – 4:00 p.m.
In On Writing: A Memoir of the Craft, Stephen King says, “Amateurs sit and wait for inspiration, the rest of us just get up and go to work.” But must writing always feel like work? Can’t it also be fun? We’ll look at the habits of successful published writers and talk about our own successes and failures with writing schedules. Our goal: to find the sweet spot that keeps us producing work on a consistent basis without stifling joyful moments of inspiration and discovery.

4-Week: Fiction 101
Lighthouse Writers Workshop (VIRTUAL CLASS via ZOOM)
Wednesdays, July 8-29
6:30 – 8:30 p.m.
This reading-and writing- based course examines the fundamental keystones of fiction. In other words, we’re going to read a lot and we’re going to write even more. We’ll learn about character, plot, structure, language—all the rules about what should go into a successful piece of fiction. And we’ll break some rules, too because great fiction has never stayed inside all the lines.
