Free writing workshop on Monday
and some thoughts on the first week of Unfold
Somehow, I have been in the process of moving five out of six times I’ve taught a daily monthlong writing workshop (Unfold & playBC). It’s like the universe wants to make me REALLY feel every feeling in the book but have time for none of them as I lead up to the most intensive part of my job :))))))))))
I made it to Kentucky almost a week ago, after a truly hellish drive and week leading up to the move. So many things went wrong it’s *almost* funny. Ask me again in a month. Actually, don’t. I’ll be preparing to move again.
In this now 3+ year long experience of constant transition (on a good day) and housing insecurity (on a bad day), I’ve had to lean on my community more than ever before. It’s a vulnerable place to teach from. I worry that I just don’t have anything left to offer the people around me, and as a giver, that’s hard.
Do you ever wonder what might happen if you could revisit a moment in your life? I SURE DO. We’ll be exploring this topic and deja vu in our Monday night Unfold writing workshop. It is ALSO Bring a Friend for Free Day!
Hey guess what? If you’re reading this newsletter, you’re my friend. I’d love to write with you, and there’s no pressure to join Unfold.
However, it is your last opportunity to consider Unfold (live track) membership for 2025, as we are finally closing the doors on April 8 (Tuesday). If you’ve been hesitating about joining, we probably miss you! The group changes a little each day due to differing life schedules, so I can promise you won’t feel like you’ve missed out or you’re coming into an already established group. We want you around. Please reach out if you’re nervous.
Year 4 of Unfold is already my favorite cohort. The energy this year has been so beautiful and I cannot wait to see where the rest of the month takes us. There are tons of new faces as well as folks who have been here since day 1. It is truly a different experience each year, and I’m really relishing in the chill, fun, no pressure vibe that these poets are bringing. It’s good for the soul.
Come hang out with us for a night (April 7 from 7-9 pm CDT) using this Zoom link: bit.ly/freeunfold
