"Who wants to become a writer? And why? Because it's the answer to everything. ... It's the streaming reason for living.
To note, to pin down, to build up, to create, to be astonished at nothing, to cherish the oddities, to let nothing go down the drain, to make something, to make a great flower out of life, even if it's a cactus."
~ Enid Bagnold
With all due respect to Enid -- who did, after all, give us National Velvet -- with all those great reasons, why wait to "become" a writer? Why not "come be" one now? Do you live in the Charlotte area? Are you free tomorrow, Tuesday, July 2nd, from 7 to 9 p.m.? If so, I invite you to come join me for a session of "Write Yourself."
If you have always wanted to write, or used to write, or have just forgotten the joy of engaging in language as a tool of creative growth, join me in this workshop filled with WordPlay. Surprise yourself! And reconnect with the power our words have to shape our very lives. I so want you to come that I'm giving you a gift for being there -- a $10 off coupon toward any future Wordplay in 2013.
Here are the details:
WHEN: Tuesday, July 2, 7 to 9 pm (See attached registration form for more options -- no free offer, though)
WHERE: Covenant Presbyterian Rec Center, 1000 East Morehead, 28204
COST: $30 ("First of July" Special -- you'll get a $10 coupon off future WordPlay for attending!) PRE-REGISTRATION REQUIRED.
Want to come?
Just email info@wordplaynow.com to say you're coming and pay in class.
Or use PayPal or credit card with this link:
Write Yourself on July 2
You'll receive an email response with details and directions either way.
To your joy,
Maureen

MAUREEN RYAN GRIFFIN, an award-winning poetry and nonfiction writer, is the author of Spinning Words into Gold, a Hands-On Guide to the Craft of Writing, a grief workbook entitled I Will Never Forget You, and two collections of poetry, This Scatter of Blossoms
and When the Leaves Are in the Water. She believes, as author Julia Cameron says, "We are meant to midwife dreams for one another."
Maureen also believes that serious "word work" requires serious WordPlay, as play is how we humans best learn -- and perform. What she loves best is witnessing all the other dreams that come true for her clients along the way. Language, when used with intentionality and focus, is, after all, serious fuel for joy. Here's to yours! |
