Each student will receive one round of thorough written feedback from an instructor. Additional 1-on-1 coaching is available. Let’s Get Sh*t Done!

GENERATE
As a bee generates honey, so we generate words. Inspiration. Writerly momentum.
Anni calls this “Opening the tap”: Put your pen to paper/fingers to keys and just see what comes through. Abby calls this a “Sandbox”: muck around on the page and see what happens. Maybe you’ll keep it, maybe you won’t, but at least you played and had fun.
Come to be taken seriously. And not so seriously. Come to be held in consistency. To generate with a community, busy as bees to make some golden writerly honey.
2nd + 4th Tuesdays of the month, 9-10am Pacific via Zoom. Sliding scale $5-$15

Structure This!
A 4-Week Writing Class via Zoom
Not currently offered. Sign up for my mailing list to hear when it’s next offered!
Writers in the “mucky-middle” often grapple with the question:
How should I structure this story?
Join Anni Kamola and Abby Kidd for a 4-week class on structure! In it we will explore story structures go beyond the traditional chronological arc. We will look to how shapes from nature can offer inspiration and structure for tension and movement. We will collaborate to identify structures and even try our hand at developing our own. We will write, revise, and share our own pieces in progress.
Come to experiment, leave with inspiration and tangible next steps. Let’s shine, hook, pull, delight, draw, amaze!
