Every story starts somewhere. This class offers simple techniques for selecting one aspect of your life to focus on, so that you can begin writing. You’ll learn how to choose a specific time or an aspect of your life — such as career, a relationship, a great vacation or a physical, emotional, or spiritual challenge. This class isn’t about criticism or critique, but rather offers guided writing exercises and a supportive environment. Stop stalling and start writing!
