What you'll learn in this creative writing class:

Resistance Smackdown: A Creative Writing Restoration Workshop

Having trouble getting your derrière in the chair, battling a vicious inner critic or compulsively reorganizing your fridge to avoid the blank page? 

If so, you’ve got a resistance problem. Fortunately, we’ve recruited stellar author and essayist Erika Schickel to help you debunk your literary funk. She’ll give you concrete tools for organizing your time and reframing your relationship to your writing life. Erika will also help you craft a daily writing routine, build support/accountability networks and put daily resistance in its place so you can show up to the page.

Note:

Class size is limited to provide a personal and supportive environment for all participants. This class is applicable to anyone writing in any genre: blog, essay, memoir, nonfiction, novel, poetry, essay, screenplay or TV pilot. Crippling perfectionism not welcome.



Remote Learning

This course is available for "remote" learning and will be available to anyone with access to an internet device with a microphone (this includes most models of computers, tablets). Classes will take place with a "Live" instructor at the date/times listed below.

Upon registration, the instructor will send along additional information about how to log-on and participate in the class.

Refund Policy

We will do everything we can to fill your spot, but we can’t make any guarantees. Credit eligibility is not based upon your reason for being unable to attend a class; it is based upon the timing of your credit request and our ability to fill your spot.

In that case, your class credit will be good for a year from the original sign up date and will expire after that. Otherwise, you will forfeit your payment/payments.

In any event where a customer wants to cancel their enrollment and is eligible for a full refund, a 5% processing fee will be deducted from the refund amount.
