A Writing Year... another fun ecourse
My previous writing course, the book writing ecourse, took for-eh-va to build. After I posted it, I had feedback from a few people who wanted to adopt a writing practice but didn't necessarily want to sign up for a book writing course.I get it. Book writing. Sounds worky. Plus, I started my own creative writing journey by making a New Year's resolution to write in my journal every day for a year so I totally understand. Writing for a year led to quitting my job, traveling, meeting the lovely Christophe, books, glory... and a lot of cheese. Oh the joys of French cheese.So if you like cheese, sign up. Just kidding. Sort of. Maybe not. We'll see how it goes.A Writing Year is a 52-week ecourse, starting whenever you're ready (but now is an excellent time obviously) Each week there is a new lesson that includes a topic, inspiring prose written by yours truly, plus a few open-ended questions to provoke thought and get those thoughts on the page.If you've liked my writing thus far, the course is like a really long blog post that lasts all year, but divided into complete and luscious bite-size pieces (and not nearly as salesy as this post).I'm doing this course for a few reasons. A little bit for you, based on the feedback about the book writing course, but also, now that a few big projects are done (the letter writing, the book, DEAR PARIS), I wanted to write nicely about each week of the year. I suspect near July there will be a lot of prose regarding tomatoes. I do so enjoy growing tomatoes. I'll try to keep my tomato obsession to a minimum.If you want to be swept away by the nice things about going through the seasons, join me. It is a very good time to delight ourselves with quiet contemplation over a pen and paper.
