Write Now, Right Now: Creating a Sustainable Writing Practice

Most writers are trying to make creative work inside an interrupted life. This class is for writers who want to build a writing practice that can actually hold up under the pressure of work, family, stress, self-doubt, health issues, and ordinary chaos.

We’ll talk honestly about what gets in the way of writing, including fear, procrastination, perfectionism, overwhelm, and the stories we tell ourselves about who we are as writers. Through prompts, reflection, discussion, and practical exercises, students will explore what has and hasn’t worked for them, generate new material, and begin to imagine a writing practice that feels more realistic, flexible, and alive.

This class is especially for writers who feel stuck, rusty, or disconnected from the page, as well as those who want to reconnect to the work. Students will leave with new writing, greater self-understanding, and a clearer sense of how to support their own writing life.

In this class, students will:
• reflect on what most often derails their writing
• explore the fears and beliefs that shape their writing practice
• generate new material through a series of prompts and exercises
• identify habits, structures, and expectations that may better support their work
