Write on Retreat (at Home!)
Join me for a free 5-day writing retreat, August 19-23
Dear fellow writer,
Would you love to attend an in-person writing retreat, but you can’t travel or afford the cost? I have a solution for you: a free online video series that will guide you through a productive, nurturing 5-day writing retreat at home.
Whether you want to squeeze in an hour or two of writing every day or immerse yourself in a full-on creative adventure, this self-paced writing retreat will take you someplace new (even if you’ve done it before!) You’ll learn about SMART versus SAFE goals (the latter are Simple, Attainable, Forgiving, and Easy!), and I’ll encourage you to set a new SAFE goal each morning and to reflect on it at the end of the day.
Sign up below to receive twice-daily prompts during the week of August 19-23, 2024. You’ll be part of an international community of writers who will be writing alongside you and cheering you on your way.
NEW in 2024: We’ll be running an online daily chat for WriteSPACE and WS Studio members to supplement these self-paced videos. Share your successes and soothe your frustrations in conversation with your fellow writers from around the world. (Not a member?

I’d love to see you there!
The Creativity Catalyst is back! (Aug 24 - Oct 3)
Do you long to bring more creativity and flair to your scholarly or professional writing — and to your writing life more generally? Enroll now for the Creativity Catalyst, my flagship online course for academic and professional writers who want to write with more energy, pleasure, and panache. Across six exhilarating weeks of experimentation and play, I’ll introduce you to six core elements of creative practice — story, poetry, drama, moving, making, and metaphor — and guide you through strategies for integrating each of them into your daily life, your writing life, and your writing style. Don’t miss this opportunity to kickstart your creativity and have some serious fun!

Kia pai tō koutou rā (have a great day) – and keep on writing!
