My goal as a writer is to find my own voice; my goal as a teacher is to help you find yours.
I must keep to my own style & go on my own Way; And though I may never succeed again in that, I am convinced that I should totally fail in any other. ~Jane Austen
The Rosefire Writing Circle
The Rosefire Writing Circle allows writers of any ability to overcome the fear, loneliness, and procrastination around facing a blank page by providing the support of writing to the same prompt with others. This proven format creates a kind of writing magic from which everyone benefits.
I create a safe space and provide the prompts for timed writing exercises designed to prime the creative pump. Participants focus and fly, letting loose the unknown in the wonder of words. We immediately read this new work, bearing witness to the strange and wonderful stories that emerge using a positive response practice that engenders a synergy, where participants invariably write more, write better, and write with greater confidence.
The Rosefire Writing Circle currently meets in-person and by video most Fridays from 1-4 pm (Vermont Time). Writers come when they can and pay what they can afford. Contact me for more information.
Writing to the Light
Writing to the Light Writing is an annual circle held near the winter solstice for the purpose of writing our way out of the dark. There is no charge to attend; donations to support the Moore Free Library are welcome. If you’re interested in attending the Eighth Annual Writing to the Light Writing Circle in 2024, ask me to put you on the mailing list for WTTL through my Contact page. You’ll receive more information around Thanksgiving.
Celebratory Writing Circles
Celebratory Writing Circles are available by design. I can tailor a themed program for your group, from celebrating a baby-shower to memorializing a loved one, including the ever popular, Having the Last Word: How to Write Your Own Obituary. Contact me if you would like to create a custom writing circle for your group. These can be for one-off family events or for an on-going writing group. Contact me about the writing circle you want.
