Dear fellow writer,
Welcome back to Swordcraft, my weekly series of short, sharp videos for scholarly and professional writers who want to hone their wordcraft, one snippet at a time.
Today’s swordsnip is the fourth installment in my newest 6-part sequence for paid subscribers, Creative Ways In. Each week over six weeks, I’ve been introducing you to a core element of creative practice — story, poetry, drama, moving, making, metaphor — and guiding you through activities and prompts designed to help you integrate creative ways of knowing, thinking, and being into your own wordcraft.
This sequence runs in parallel with (and draws on material from) the Creativity Catalyst, my flagship online course for writers who want to bring more pleasure and panache to their daily life, their writing life, and their writing style. We’re in Week 4 now, but latecomers are always welcome; you’ll get lifetime access to the course materials and alumni community. I’d love to see you there!
Paid subscribers can find a copy of this week’s Creative Ways In prompts at the bottom of this post.
Kia pai tō koutou rā (have a great day) – and keep on writing!
