SUMMARY:"Yield Everything\, Force Nothing" Generative Creative Writing Workshop
DESCRIPTION:About the Workshop Series: \nYield Everything\, Force Nothing is the title of a Jean Valentine poem and hopefully a blessing over this workshop series. In these three classes\, we will yield to our intuition\, write expansively\, and try to forgo the everyday pressures of linear thinking. I will gently guide you through fun\, multi-step interactive prompts and we’ll engage in playful\, radical revision techniques. You will surprise yourself. The most common feedback I get about my teaching style is “I’ve never taken a class like this before” and “I can’t believe I just wrote this!” \nThese classes are meant for adult writers and humans of all skill levels. \nTo register: https://forms.gle/jTL548EPmMpWL8HXA. You are welcome to join 1\, 2\, or all 3 classes. Sliding scale\, if payment is a barrier for you\, please email nicolevbasta@gmail.com. 50% of all proceeds will go to a family in Gaza.
