Writing Intensive Workshops with Julie Jordan Scott

Announcing the Final Wild Wednesday Virtual Writing Camp Extravaganza of the Summer

Writing Campers loved it so much last week and received so much benefit, we are sharing in the Wild Wednesday festivities one more time:

Writing Camp Extravaganza - July 14, 2010 - Two Sessions for you to enjoy... either one or both -

8 AM Pacific time or 4 PM Pacific Time.

It's a brand new kind of Camp created especially for you!

 

Lots of you have incredibly fun memories of campfires and hiking and swimming and riding a horse and hanging out at the craft shack. Some of you may have a few less than stellar memories. 

What I would LOVE is for you to engage with is the possibility of a brand new kind of camp for adults that incorporates all the fun stuff and leaves behind all that not-so-fun stuff. We use WRITING as our focus for Camp-style fun. We use writing prompts and games to inspire our words. This isn't a camp where I promise you will "write a sales letter in seven steps" or "write an ecourse in 5 days!" but what happens is writers find their words flowing with such ease it makes those sort of writing tasks sooooo much simpler and turn up the notch on having fun with that brand of writing.

 What I would LOVE is for you to engage in is the possibility of changing your life through using your creative side and your love of words and writing to change your life and the trajectory of your future writing life by attending Virtual Writing Camp (or in some cases, in person Writing Camp) with Julie Jordan Scott.

What I would LOVE, Love, LOVE and would make me do hand flips is for you to join in the Wild Writing Wednesday Camp Extravaganza where you can experience some of the most joyful, most passionate aspects of camp as my guest.

Writing Campers may choose from one of (or both) TWO thirty minute free Writing Campfires on Wednesday, June 30, 2010: one at 8 AM  Pacific Time and one at 4 PM Pacific Time. During these campfires we will be experiencing usual camp activities: playing writing games, enjoying writing stories, and doing some free writing and passing the talking stick – we will be playfully and thoughtfully engaging our selves, our writing and each other.

YES!  You may attend one or both campfires OR if you are unable to attend live, you may download one of the recordings of the campfires.

There will be some special give-aways and invitations for whomever attends camp and special announcements will be heard first at camp.

June Writer's Playdate- Poetry Create and Play: What happened.....

June's session was....

POETRY: Create-and-Play

Tuesday, June 8 at 10 AM Pacific Time

Listen to it here:

Our only rules:

Rules: Love: Encourage: Ignite: Encourage: Love

Warm Up: Breathing the Now…

Now, I am…open mind and breathe deeply into a wordless space that brings you completely into the present…

Now I am… and allow the words to flow.

Congratulations! You have written a poem!

The role of a writer is not to say what we all can say, but what we are unable to say.

Anais Nin

 

Poetry is a river;

Many voices travel in it;

Poem after poem moves along in the

Exciting crests and falls of the

River waves. None is timeless;

Each arrives in an historical context;

Almost everything, in the end, passes.

 

But the desire to make a poem,

And the world’s willingness to

Receive it – indeed the world’s

Need of it – these never pass.”

PROMPT: Poetry IS....

"Prose: words in their best order. Poetry, the best words in the best order."

Samuel Taylor Coleridge

Listen, now, to a story for my love for clickety-click-click, busy-ness and then… clickety silence and then…..Tell the story of shooting photos of everything and nothing at In-and-Out, on stage, etc.

1. Something clicked into place creatively yesterday which especially intrigued me.

 

2. A light went on yesterday in a room that had been dark for quite a long time.

 

3. The last puzzle piece found its way home yesterday after it had been missing for a long, long time.

 

4. The Mom’s face lit up the room when her prodigal child reappeared, finally, after being away for what felt like too many seasons but was, perhaps, a month – at best.

 

Writing a poem is a kind of possible

love affair between something like

the heart (that courageous but shy

factory of emotion) and the learned

skills of the conscious mind. They

make appointments with each other,

and keep them, and something begins

to happen. Or, they make appointments

with each other but are casual and often

fail to keep them: count on it,

nothing happens.
