Goodbye Winter - Hello Spring! Let's celebrate the start of a new season with a five-week writing extravaganza. Outline your project and write 3 - 4 sequences/chapters in just five weeks!
Here's the drill: Each week, you'll receive a brief guiding you through the steps the next stage of the five week challenge. Finish it within the week, upload your work, and voila! The very next day, you'll receive a new prompt to ignite your creativity and move your forward. Repeat this process for five weeks, and you'll have crafted 1 - 2 outlines and 40 - 70 new pages of writing. Now, the best part – the challenge comes with a twist! You can win money! Successfully complete each challenge, and you enter the pool for a chance to win the entire cash prize or opt for a gift certificate double its value for any 2024 class or workshop with us. Even in the worst-case scenario, you'll end up with new writing and a stronger writing habit. The best-case scenario? Your halfway through a new script/book and have some cold hard cash headed your way (not literally cold and hard, we will send it digitally but you catch our drift.) This challenge is entirely online, allowing you the flexibility to work at your own pace. No need to worry about specific time commitments – just ensure you meet the final deadlines for each week of the project. Choose your preferred genre, tone, or style, form etc. |

"These Meditative Writing intensives have saved my practice. It's not just the week you are in daily classes-- it creates a rhythm and habit and momentum that lasts for months afterwards. It has taught me the value of investing in myself and my writing."
