Organize Your Writing Process

Are you feeling overwhelmed or resistant to beginning your writing journey or to returning to it again? Did you know that there are still ways to be “in the writing process” without the wait?

In this class, we will utilize the 5Ws and 1H (Who, What, When, Where, Why, and How) to discover five pillars of organizing the writing process itself—gathering your materials, connecting with support, planning your time, finding writing resources, and aligning your intentions—and ultimately, how to blend them all together to build a bridge to the act of writing time and again.

Each week, we will focus on one key area of organization, and through in-class exercises and discussions, you will be given time to explore and share with others how it applies to you. By the end of the class, you will have gained greater clarity, confidence, and opened new doors—inviting the writing to come to you.

Instructor:

Amy London is an award-winning writer and storyteller. After surviving a traumatic brain injury in 2015, she returned to creative writing as part of her recovery. Her first non-fiction essay about brain injury was published in the anthology Surviving Brain Injury: Stories of Strength and Inspiration. She followed by winning Storyline Slam, telling her disability story within the theme of “magic.” Her micro-nonfiction on growing up LGBTQ, “When the Salve Stopped the Bleeding,” was a tournament finalist in The Nasiona. Her memoir shorts combining 12-step recovery, hard things, and hope are available at www.amylondon.com.
