Hey there,
I wanted to make sure I’ve got the word out on three things….
By request, I’ve put together an online generative writing course. Hope you might join me/us! This course will be held on Sunday mornings, for about two hours, West Coast time. The goal of the course is to have a good time, writing together, while considering craft, perhaps gaining some specific tools for the toolbox, and thinking about writing overall. Also, this is a time you can ask me any questions about writing, and what I’ve learned along the way. If you’re interested, you can find the sign-up here: Online Writing/Craft Course | monicadrake
If you’re in Portland, I’ll be starting a six-week in-person workshop. While Writers’ Recess is a craft-based course aimed at generating new work and considering technique, this workshop is for those who want to bring in pages, no matter how rough or how polished, and share them with a group and gain feedback. I’m a lifetime workshop writer, and for me it really helps. I’m here to support your work! More info here: Writing Workshop | monicadrake
Also, if you’re in Portland, I’ve scheduled two more Writers’ Mixers at Rose City Book Pub. These will be on the first Sunday of November and December. That’s the 6th of November and the 4th of December. Both are at 3:00, free, open to the public, and we’ve had some cool writers drop in! We’ll be on the back patio of Rose City Book Pub. If it gets too cold to socialize outside, we’ll take over inside!
So that’s: The first Sunday of November and December, 3:00 at Rose City Book Pub, 1329 NE Fremont, out on the back patio. We’ve been having a great time! Join us, if you can!
I think that’s it, for now…Hope to hear from you—and I’m excited to work with those of you who have already signed up! xo
Monica your are the best! I signed up for the online class. I look forward learning from you. Thank you also for adding more writer's mixers dates. My 9 year old daughter refused to sit in the car for 7 hours for any of the previous ones. The new dates are weekends where she is with her mother.
I want to do this so much that last night, I was dreaming about how to make it work. But the reality is, the next two Sundays I will be trapped in a car for 8+ hours (traveling for vacation, woo!) with one- and three-year olds. I hope you offer the online course again in the future!
