“One writes out of one thing only–one’s own experience. Everything depends on how relentlessly one forces from this experience the last drop, sweet or bitter, it can possibly give. This is the only real concern of the artist, to recreate out of the disorder of life that order which is art.”
~ James Baldwin

The VERITAS Writing Retreat for Women (July 23-27, 2020 in Bay View, WI) is bordering on full! If you’d love 4 days of workshops, writing, and community on PLACE, PERMISSION, & PRODUCTIVITY, register soon. Once on-site lodging is filled, only Day Retreat options will be available.
This year we also have two stipends of $100 each available to help with lodging and tuition. Apply by Feb. 29th; recipients will be notified by March 7th.
Also open for registration is Flash Nonfiction I. This 4-week online course runs from March 7-April 4, 2020 and offers lessons on the genre, plenty of prompts, and a great opportunity to connect with other writers. Seats are limited. REGISTER SOON!
*If you have taken this course but would love another gentle push to get you back to the page (or screen), know that while lessons will remain the same I am happy to mix up the writing prompts.
