Carolyn’s Method Writing
Seven-Week Class is offered now on Friday Mornings.
Talk about happy hours! What a great way to end your week.
$495
We will be following the curriculum of Jack’s Method Writing books.
Level One students, those who are just starting their Method Writing journey, and those who would like to review Level One will be working with Jack’s book, The First Four Concepts of Method Writing.
Students working on the Advanced classes, Levels two and beyond, will work with Jack’s book, The Art of Tonal Dynamics.
And for those students who have completed all the levels and have “fallen out of the books,” fear not. The assignments are endless; whether it’s “car-washing” authors and poets or ‘Wild, Dark and Passionate,’ and Short Poems, there is something for every writer in this class.
Class size is limited.
“After publishing two books, I didn’t write for a full year. I tried to get back into the habit of writing, but I just couldn’t. Everything and anything got in the way. So, I took Method Writing with Carolyn to add some accountability. What I didn’t expect was for it to transform my writing, my brain, and my life. I am not only writing daily again, but I am experiencing a whole new story. The exercises have me stretching and letting go of controlling every word. What’s landing on the page in front of me is far better than I could have painstakingly crafted. Wow! This is fun!

She has studied METHOD WRITING with me for over a decade and has an intuitive grasp of its concepts that transcend mere rote repetition. Most important of all, she has an empathic sense of what the student needs and conveys both art and life lessons in a thoughtful and caring manner.
