On Wednesday evening, April 20th, a new, eight-week session of Write Here Now begins on Zoom.
I’d like to invite you to make space in your life for your creativity. While we may feel powerless in the topsy-turvy, pandemic-weary, apparently treacherous world, committing to our creativity means flourishing in a domain where we are powerful: our own imagination. Signing up and showing up each week — these are affirming and stabilizing acts. That’s what we’ll do together.
My workshops are for anyone in need of a space apart to write, a chance to put aside their To Do list and click off their tech. A time to delve into the mine of your memory or enter the gates of your imagination. An opportunity each week to savor every writer’s favorite oxymoron: side-by-side solitude.
Write Here Now: A Writing Workshop on Zoom
Day and Time: Wednesday Evenings, 7 – 9:30 pm, PST.
Eight Weeks: Wednesday April 20, 27. May 4, 11, 18, 25. June 1 & 8.

I chose the name as inspired by Ram Dass and Be Here Now. I believe fresh ideas are within us and swirling all around us. If we are present in the side-by-side solitude, they present themselves to us. Write Here Now is an invitation to inhabit this stillness and write.
The best writer is the one who stays in the chair longest.
