Luxury fee of treating yourself to this three-hour workshop is roughly the cost of a manicure or massage, for three-hours of exploring through writing with friends.
Bring 1) your favorite bottle of wine to share, 2) your journal or paper, and pen or computer, if you prefer; and 3) a friend.
DESCRIPTION
- You will write, share, investigate, and dig deep on this journey, as if you were Hemingway …
- In order to discover something about …
- Yourself, your travels in the world, your situation in life, and/or your dreams …
- That will lead you to do, think, believe or become something different in the near future.
A different set of ten prompts will be provided for each of the three writings.
- You will capture immediate reactions to a thoughtful quote about adventure that gives you a chance to warm-up your writing muscles.
- Then, you will explore your response to one of ten randomly selected prompts about your personal travel experiences, either past excursions or potential future ones.
- Finally, you will attempt to weave together the “outer” and “inner” journeys for self-discovery.
RULES OF THE HIGHWAY
- Put the pedal to the metal. Write fast and wild and free. Put pen to paper and keep writing, don’t stop. Don’t edit, don’t stop. Keep writing.
- Feel free to share your writing or toss it out the window; but maybe you want to share for all the applause and cheers you get.
- Listen to others’ writing with an ear for the possible and the positive. Don’t be shy to encourage your fellow travelers.
