The Chattery

In the "Write Every Day" workshop, we discuss how to create a daily writing practice--diary or fiction, poetry or quickly-jotted note.

Participants discuss how a daily practice is a mental anchor, both creatively &amp; spiritually, and how material from the daily writing--interior, messy, private--can be shaped into crafted work. This workshop resonates both with experienced writers who feel blocked, and with new writers and non-writers, who want to create a personal creative routine.This class is taught by touring poets, on a reading &amp; teaching tour through the Southern statesAbout the teachers: Lisa Pasold is a writer originally from Montreal, now based in New Orleans. She has published 5 books, including Any Bright Horse, which was shortlisted for the Governor General’s Award in Canada. As the touchstone of her creative process, Lisa has been writing every day for nearly two decades. Lisa spent twenty years living in Paris as a writer, lecturer, and journalist. Her features have appeared in diverse publications including New York Living, The Chicago Tribune and Billboard.
