Invoking the Muse: A Form of Automatic Writing: For those who want to learn a way to “get out of their own head” when writing creatively, I will teach you how to let your intuition work for you as your muse to assist you in the writing process. I’ll cover what has worked for me, how I wrote 2 books this way (in about 2 months total), plus several short stories and fairy tales, and how you can try out some of these techniques to help you write more freely and without self-judgment. Understanding that editing is another step that can happen later, we will be focusing on the act of creation of ideas, and we will start by using imagery which I will bring as our prompts. You will have a little time during class to practice, and are encouraged to share your work, but are not under any obligation to do so.
