The Writer’s Notebook Reimagined

In this 6-week workshop, we will journey together toward a reimagining of what it means to keep a “writer’s notebook.”   Through regular at-home writing in our notebook, we’ll create a space where our more personal, inwardly-focused thoughts can find their place within our observations of the wider world.  

As a group, we’ll tap into these growing collections and use tools such as quickwrites, prompts, and mentor texts to help us explore the seeds of ideas within them.  As we do this, our writer’s notebook becomes important not only as a catalyst for observation and expression, but also as a well of inspiration for poetry, fiction, nonfiction, music, art, etc.  We’ll follow the seeds through to drafts and use feedback and revision activities to help move our work towards its final stages.

The more we write, the more we’ll come to trust our own voice (both writer and human), and the more our collection of musings will grow.
