WORDSMITH CREATIVE WRITING WORKSHOP?Finding the Words in the Writer and the Writer in the Words.
Wordsmith Creative Writing Workshop begins Thursday September 11 thru October 30. Cost $250 for eight weeks, 7-9:30 pm, once a week at the Electric Lodge in Venice. Seating is limited. If you would like to reserve a spot please contact me lisa@barringtoneditorial.com.
The format of the workshop:
? Half of the time is devoted to an improvisational writing exercise;
? the other half we share work brought in for critique and editing suggestions.
~The fresh writing we do in class is not critiqued, just shared if you would want to share, with group comments on what we liked about the piece. The workshop?s purpose is to provide time and space to write and generate new work
~and also to provide constructive criticism on separate pieces you would want to bring in for that purpose. (Can sign up for a critique date.)
The writing exercises vary to jump start pieces for personal essay, fiction, poetry so that you get a taste of different ways to write and discover new capacities. I do the exercises right along with you,¬ so we are all in this together!

This is our first meeting of this eight-week session.
First, we will check in and introduce ourselves.
Then we will do the improvisational exercise, where we write for 20 minutes. Those who want to share are encouraged to do so and receive gentle feedback of what we liked about the piece. This is invigorating and fun--you'll see.
We take a 5 or 10 minute break. Read more
