I like collecting statements other writers have made about writing. Sometimes they inspire me, sometimes they make me rethink my practices, and sometimes they annoy me, but I almost always find them thought-provoking. In this workshop we’ll look at a number of remarks made by various writers (often very famous ones) and consider how they might help us think about our own work.
Writers have long shared thoughts about writing that can inspire, challenge, irritate, or completely reframe how we approach our work. Guided by Don, participants will read and discuss a selection of remarks from a range of writers and consider how these perspectives resonate (or don’t) with their own creative practices.
Together, the group will explore how reflecting on others’ ideas about writing can spark new questions, affirm instincts, or encourage writers to experiment with new approaches. This workshop is designed to be thoughtful, conversational, and generative for writers at any stage.
No registration is required, but space is limited. This workshop is geared toward writers of all levels and genres. Please bring writing materials, such as a notebook and pen.
