Oct 7: Session 1 — Write Your Origin Story
Our lives come with their own mythologies, fairy tales, and origin stories. From our parents to our ancestors, known or lost, mysterious or clear — writing our origin story is the foundation for everything else to come.

Oct 14: Session 2 — Writing the Body
There are stories buried in our bones, weaving together the cracks in our broken hearts. Writing comes as much from our guts, our throats, our chests, as from our heads. Let's listen to our bodies, and tell their stories together.

Oct 21: Session 3 — Writing Food
We were fed when we were hungry, or we were allowed to stay hungry too long. Because it activates all the senses at once, writing about food is a direct way to enter into certain times or characters of our lives.

Oct 28: Session 4 — Writing Intimacy
We can write about intimacy as a weapon, as assault, or as punishment — or as a spiritual union, a non-verbal contract. Body-to-body communication. There are so many ways to write about intimacy, to further character, to further plot.

Nov. 4: Session 5 —Writing Money
We're not supposed to talk about money in polite company, which makes it all the more important that we write about it. The amount of money in our bank accounts, and how we spend it, has a story to tell.

Nov 11: Session 6 — Writing Addiction
Our writing might delve into the underworld of disease and darkness in a hundred different manifestations. But writing can be a lifeline too — "a lifeline to help us crawl out of hell, pulling us back onto the land of the living."
