Simply Write
Looking for supportive, generative writing time? Set down the juggling balls of your life and spend some Sunday afternoons with me this spring. I offer interesting prompts, focused time, and casual creative camaraderie.
No experience is necessary; all you need is a desire to write and a willingness to create with others in a space free of competition and comparison. Instead of sharing freshly processed work, we’ll talk about creative process (when we aren’t writing and, mostly, we’re writing…).
I ask for a donation ($10 minimum per session is suggested, more is welcomed, less is okay too if that’s all you can manage). Half of the proceeds will go to a different charity each month. For more info or to grab your spot, go here or click the picture!
