Enjoy your creative power and honor your heart’s desire with All Write Now; writing circles and workshops that inspire poetic living (witnessing your life and world with courage, playfulness and words). Forget about grades and critiques and a red pen! You will receive Poetic License from the beginning:
-
You may break the rules of any exercise
-
You may, when the need arises, use “bad” grammar, spell incorrectly, begin in the middle, leave your work unfinished etc.
-
You may write in collaboration with your neighbor.
-
You may be silly or meaningless. There is no need to be profound or literary.
-
You may tell “lies”, and exaggerate.
-
You may speak to things and flowers and animals and strangers and to yourself. You may speak for them. You may speak to the invisible.
-
You may be personal and “subjective” and sentimental – a participator and exclaimer as well as the detached observer and reporter.
-
You may enjoy yourself.
Poetic License adapted from work by poet, Paul Matthews.
With All Write Now, I was among trusted friends on a journey through loss, laughter, longing and the recovery of my artistic self…writing led me to a richer life that has proven more worthy of living. All Write Now participant, January 2010
