Freshwater Writing’s THE SUSTAINED WRITER: REFRESH

REGISTRATION IS CLOSED.

THE SUSTAINED WRITER: REFRESH IS A GUIDED ONLINE WRITING CIRCLE DESIGNED TO RECHARGE YOUR WRITING LIFE.

Are you looking for a writing community? Have the busy summer months stalled your writing routine, or distracted you from your creative spark? Are you dreaming of building, or getting back into, a regular practice? The Sustained Writer: Refresh is a guided online writing circle designed to re-energize and refocus our writing lives. This circle is for all writers of all levels–and especially poets.

For six weeks, we will come together to share our writing journey. While remaining mindful of The Sustained Writer’s guiding principles (attention, curiosity, practice, grace, and community), in this session, we will focus on creating new work and sharing feedback so that we might quickly re-center ourselves and our writing in our community and our lives. 

We will begin each two-hour session by reading and discussing meaningful writing. Next, Chelsea will offer thoughtful prompts, and then, with videos on or off, we will commit to the real work–we will write, every week, for a substantial period of time. Finally, we will end each session by responding to one another’s work submitted for feedback. Staying grounded in generosity and curiosity, we will offer specific observations to help each other see what our work is and what it might become. 

Join The Sustained Writer: Refresh to recommit to and explore your work this autumn. The Sustained Writer: Refresh is a good fit for all writers–including those returning from The Sustained Writer and those new to this kind of circle altogether.
