Classes & Workshops:
Jumpstart Your Writing!
Playing
Your Way to Plenty of Pages – Tuesdays – 6:00 pm
– 8:30 - This eight week
class, based on the works of Natalie Goldberg and Pat
Schneider, focuses on the beginning of the writing
process, the part where we must put away our internal
critics and let our pens fly across the page. We will
write in a group from prompts, which will include music,
pictures, phrases, poems, ideas, and excerpts from
stories, essays, and novels, and sometimes combinations
of any of the above. This is a fun, high-energy class
that will show you all the good stuff you have within.
Excellent for the procrastinators and the blocked. Held
in my studio in Orange County. $175.
Please contact Nancy for more information.
Please check
calendar for locations and time.
Prompt Writing: Serious writing begins with playful writing. Please join this
unique ongoing group of supportive adult writers and play your way into the
possibilities of the written word. Based on the work of Natalie Goldberg
(Writing Down the Bones, Wild Mind) we set a timer for fifteen minutes
and write using prompts as our launch pads. This class
is free and open to the public.
Please check
calendar for locations and time.
Women’s Writing Group: This is an
ongoing workshop held in my studio in Orange County,
North Carolina. The class size is kept small (six

build a close community, and to allow as much attention
to each writer’s work as is possible. We meet on
Wednesday evenings from 6pm to 8:30, $125 per
month.

as we listen to each other’s stories, and be prepared to know yourself in a new
light. All levels welcome. Held at the
