Writing Through It

Every week for 8 weeks, you will have a dedicated time and place where you know you will write for 75 minutes. You can bring an independent project, or write from the prompt given at the beginning of the zoom session if you need inspiration for a jumping off point. This is a commitment to showing up – to knowing getting your butt in the chair is half of the work of creating, and this class is saying you will do that. 

Attendance is not taken, but community is formed. The first 10-15 minutes of class will be a mini lecture/prompt by me (with exciting substitute teachers on 2 of the weeks), and the remaining 60 minutes you will write with your camera on and mic off. During that time, you can also ask Abby into a zoom room for advice or one-on-one coaching. Cost is $99 for 8 weeks of commitment to your own writing and creativity. 

Who It’s For:

• Writers mid-project who need community to continue the work during the summer months
• New writers who are looking to build a creative writing practice in a low-stakes environment
• If you’ve already taken a class with me — or if you did Summer School last year — this is an easy way to keep your writing muscles active. And if you have been looking at an easy way to try out creative writing? Here is a way to begin, among wonderful people.

You Get:

• One poem/prompt a week if you need a launching point for your hour of writing
• “Office Hours”: You’ll have exclusive access to me in each class if you need to discuss creative, logistical or inspirational snags – I’m here to help! 
• A commitment to yourself to write every week, all summer long.
• Low stakes commitment: You know you have a space to show up and create, every single week.
• A reading at the end of the session with your fellow SHOW UP writers
• And the most exciting part: You’ll join a community of supportive writers and readers, people who can’t wait to read your work and cheer you on. 
• Early access to my limited fall classes.
