Behind the Scenes, part 3.5:
Creating a Writing WorkshopLessons from The Call of the Cowbell
The best-proofed newsletter...well, I did proofread part 3, but somehow missed the fact that the entire "Key takeaways" section vanished somewhere between saving the file and sending it out into the world. So, without further ado (and with further proofreading): Key takeaways from
The call of the cowbell
that I build into my workshops:
- When you don't know anything, you can create everything. The blank page is a delicious invitation.
- Clang the bell! Your voice as a writer deserves to be heard.
To read what led up to these key takeaways, see part 3 of our of our multi-part series on Creating a Writing Workshop. If you missed part 1, you can read it HERE, and part 2 is HERE. This series is about creating a writing workshop (you probably guessed that), and about what happens in a good one.
And don't forget to check out our new nature writing workshop, sponsored by the Anza Borrego Foundation in Borrego Springs, California. It begins Sunday afternoon, January 26, at the Palm Canyon Resort.

Give your writing a boost in 2014!
Join the Anza Borrego Foundation (ABF) and Palm Canyon Resort for a 4-1/2 day writing workshop led by Judy Fort Brenneman. Over the course of the workshop, you'll go on 2 field trips, have daily workshop sessions with different topics of focus, an optional one-on-one session with Judy, and time to write, reflect, and explore.
Unlike conferences where you only talk about writing, at the ABF nature writing workshop,
you'll write.
- Whether you write poetry or prose, nonfiction or fiction--
- Whether you're sure you're a "nature writer" or not sure what "nature writing" really is--
- Whether you're a beginner or a long-time story-maker--
