Hello my friends,
I continue to be hard at work with classes, workshops, and retreats for creative writing. I have the following already created for AIMS Community College in Greeley, Colorado.
- All about Creative Writing ( Six 2-hour classes)
- Creative Writing Workshop Series: Character, Plot, Reviews & Feedback, Developing Your Writing Style (3 hours each)
- Creative Writing for Beginners (Six 1.5-hour classes)
- Beneath the Surface: Character and Plot (Two 5-hour mini retreats)
I love being part of the AIMS community. It's a great community college that strives to serve Greeley and surrounding towns.
In addition to all of this, I'm creating an in-person retreat located at a historic B&B in Fort Morgan, Colorado!!! I'm always trying to cram as much powerful information into what I offer so that my participants know they are getting more than they paid for. Along side of that, I try to make sure they also have time to apply what they've learned. It's a balancing act, for sure.
I'm still writing on my own novel (one of them), and I am loving the depth and scope of this story. I hate that it gets sidelined with creating the classes and retreats, but there's not enough time in the day.
I'm also trying to keep up with bellydancing, service on the board of a new nonprofit, and getting my music chops better and better. I'm picking up my violin and working on piano again. I have a new beautiful electric guitar. I think my vocals are getting better. As everyone around me has said, when I love the song, I belt a good one. Confidence is key.
I have so many amazing books I use as reference materials, and I strive to learn more about writing constantly. I'll have to add them to the pages on my site. Apparently, I'll also have to repost all of the graphics I had on the site. Somewhere along the way they were dropped????
As always, please be patient. Consistent blogging is headed to the top of my list as I open registration for my new retreat.
My best,
Tess
