More Is More: Build Your Body of Work with a Daily Writing Practice

Wednesday, May 19, 2021 @ 2:00 pm -3:15 pm Eastern

Keeping a writer’s journal is a way to practice, as a musician might practice scales, so that the pump is always primed and the act of writing becomes second nature.

Additional Information

Writers have long used the daily journal not only to record events from their inner and outer worlds, but to nurture and deepen their creative work. The writer’s journal is a way to teach ourselves greater attentiveness and awareness, to reveal to ourselves our deepest concerns, subjects, and themes, and to stay engaged with language and the process of writing.

During this webinar, we’ll discuss the nuts and bolts of a daily writing practice, look at guides and sources of inspiration, and examine strategies for developing publishable work from journal entries. We’ll look at tools and tips for creating and sustaining a daily writing practice; we’ll also do an exercise together that will help you get started, or restarted.

In this webinar, you will:

  • LEARN practical steps for establishing and maintaining a daily writing practice
  • DEVELOP strategies for your own daily writing practice, based on examples from the journals of successful writers, as well as prompts and exercises to jump-start the writing process
  • EXPERIMENT with a timed writing exercise designed to draw upon—and perhaps transcend—the stuff of our daily late-pandemic reality.

There will be time for a Q & A at the end of the presentation.

This webinar is ideal for writers at all levels, especially those who sometimes feel frustrated about discipline or stymied by their own perfectionism and who want to become more fluent and productive.
