Want to write? Searching for inspiration? Keep meaning to start that project? Stuck at page 32? Don’t Just Sit There!

In this weekend workshop, discover how inspiration is like breathing. Don't Just Sit There! is a fun and fast-paced immersion in creative discussion and practical writing exercises. You already know in your heart of hearts what inspires you; this workshop will allow you to access that personal inspiration and show you how to confidently continue writing. Great for those with a new idea simmering, or those wanting to spark fresh directions.

Lisa Pasold has a decade of experience in teaching creative writing to writers of all levels. She has taught at the American University in Paris, at WICE, and has led workshops from the Yukon to the wilds of Florida.

On September 29 - 30, 2012, Lisa is offering ‘Don’t Just Sit There’ as an intensive weekend workshop.

The workshop begins with a three-hour Saturday session from 2pm to 5pm. On Sunday, we begin at 11am and work through the day until 5pm, with a 90-minute discussion lunch break at the wonderful neighborhood restaurant, La Piscine. Fee: 80 euros for the whole workshop (Sunday lunch not included) Space is limited, so please register early through the contact page finding and unleashing your creative inspiration. 

Brainstorm about writing goals and challenges, participate in fresh writing exercises and experiments, share your work and receive generous, clear-eyed feedback. We'll discuss ideas about writing from writers such as Barbara Kingsolver and George Saunders, and use a variety of tools as a springboard to experiment, play and create in our own writing. This workshop is aimed at all writers, writing at any level, willing to commit to serious, supportive, critical discussion about how we write. AUTUMN 2012 DATES TBA
