There are two things I like to do and that is eating and writing. And I
find the WYF Writing Workshop to be
absolutely delicious. Not only did I write myself free, I experienced
a
breakthrough in my creativity and developed a stronger writing voice. I am grateful for the experience. De Boone
After
six years of constantly writing
essays for college and
graduate school, making the
switch to fiction and
the narrative
form left me frustrated and afraid of the blank page.
Patrick
and Susie helped me unlock
my creative potential. They
provided me with the wisdom, support
and structure to begin my first novel.
I left every session feeling confident and
eager to keep writing. I
know I speak for all of the
group's members when
I
say that the experience
was transformational and the relationships will last. Kate Ryan

The
purpose of the
Write Yourself Free™ method is to connect writers with their
natural strengths as communicators, so that the act of writing feels free,
natural, and playful. The Write Yourself Free™ method is based on the latest
psychological research, and as a method, it can be used by writers at all
levels, from school-age to professional. However, Write Yourself Free™
strategies are not the way writing is taught in school, nor are they rule-based
formulas. Instead, Write Yourself Free™ offers models, games, and strategies to
liberate each individual's expressiveness and empower clearer and more creative
written communications.
