40 DAYS & 40 NIGHTS: DEEPENING OUR PRACTICE (9/4/06)
*Instructor: LAURIE WAGNER, writer and documentary filmmaker
whose essays have appeared in Salon, Glamour, and elsewhere. The only way to get good at something is to practice, practice,
practice. This class will offer four writing assignments
each week. Most will be short and direct, taking from 30 minutes to an hour to do. This is a class for people who can commit
to this practice of writing much the same way someone might to a practice or yoga or meditation or running. The more you practice
the better you'll get.
After 10 weeks and 40 assignments you will see a difference in your work: a freedom and loosening
in and of the writing process, and a relaxed relationship to the blank page and the act of writing. (10 weeks)

write to expand the notions of what a fictional narrator can be. The idea is to become as inclusive as consciousness actually
is, circling out from the inner self to the outer observer. We will incorporate other genres and voices,
focusing on what
Mikhail Bahktin called "The Dialogic Imagination."
We will read and respond to short fiction by Hemingway and Raymond Carver,
Marguerite Duras, Jack Kerouac, some stories by the poet Bernadette Mayer, a short story by Walter Abish, and a few others,

Founded in 1993, the Creativity Workshop is dedicated
to teaching people about their creativity and how to use it in all aspects of life, work, and creative expression. We do this
through a series of exercises
developed by the founders and directors, Shelley Berc and Alejandro Fogel. In a non-competitive,
nurturing atmosphere, these workshops help participants develop creative skills, expanded sense perception,
innovative
problem solving, inspired brainstorming, and new ways of looking at life as exciting and transformative. The price of the
NYC workshop is $650, tuition only. Our European workshop prices start at $1,650 for tuition and 9 nights accommodations.
The only requirements for the Creativity Workshop are curiosity
about the creative process and a sense of playfulness.

inhibit creative expression.
Working with thousands of individuals, businesses, and institutions since 1993, the Creativity
Workshop helps people believe in and develop their imagination through using a unique series of exercises in memoir, creative
writing, visual arts, sense perception, brainstorming, and
storytelling. Our concentration is on the process of creativity
rather than the product. We emphasize the importance of play and the sharing of ideas to nurture creative growth.

Online business writing program offered by LR Communication
Systems, Inc.
http://www.lrcom.com/ewc.htmlGuided Self-Study In
Effective Written Communication
Skills learned
As a result of taking this course, students will be able
to:
* Use a "building block" system to ensure efficient, effective
communications
*
Save time by pinpointing the objective and focusing only on
pertinent information
* Organize information for clarity
and interest
* Create immediate attention and maintain it all the way to the closing
* Gain the reader's good will by
using the right language, style, and tone
* Lead the reader to the desired action or reaction
* Edit their own and others'
writing with confidence
One course for all your needs
Guided by a personal consultant, students learn to produce
the kinds of writing their jobs require:
* Sales letters that get more appointments, strengthen
relationships,
and achieve more sales
* Technical reports that provide essential information quickly and clearly for a diverse group of
readers and focus on solutions, not problems
* Audit reports that lead to improvements and are perceived as helpful, not
judgmental
* Customer service letters that maintain goodwill, present unwelcome
news diplomatically, and speak naturally
without a form-letter feel
* Memos that inform concisely, request persuasively, and motivate
readers to follow new policies
and procedures through explanation,
not edict
* E-mail that is not just "thrown together," but focuses on an
objective
and presents a professional image
In short, our system works for all kinds of business writing--technical,
financial, sales, administrative, customer service, and executive.
What makes our course different?
It's different from any other writing skills course because
it is not dependent upon text, lecture, or classroom . . . but instead upon the interaction between the course participant
and the evaluator (a highly
skilled writer-analyst and member of our staff).
Instruction methods
Guided Self-Study works the way writing itself does. It
subjects the writing to reader interpretation.
Following the reading of each of the five units of text,
the participant sends a job-related writing assignment (for example: a report, proposal, letter, or memo) to his or her evaluator-consultant.
In addition to
analyzing content for grammatical correctness, structure, sequence, and
language selection, the evaluator
acts as the reader and studies the assignment for clarity, effect on the reader, and how well it achieves its objectives.
Spending up to two hours on each assignment, analyzing and
writing the
critique, the evaluator sends to the participant a constructive commentary, reacting as the intended reader,
correcting and reorganizing where appropriate.
The relationship between participant and evaluator is writer
to reader,
client to consultant. The evaluation process continues through five
units of instruction, and all that
time the participant has a private consultant, commenting honestly and knowledgeably through the evaluations, but also guiding
and motivating him or her toward improvement.
To make learning permanent, we include a Reinforcement Exercise
and Objective Analysis Series with each unit of text. The Reinforcement exercises strengthen understanding and application
of principles presented in the text. The analysis series asks participants to analyze and comment on a piece of writing they
are given. Our evaluator reviews it and comments.
By becoming good analysts of others' writing and applying
these skills
to their own writing, our participants become permanently good writers.
At the end, the evaluator produces a wrap-up evaluation
measuring performance from pre-course to completion.
Course content
To enable participants to get a "handle" on writing, we
provide them with a communication model, a system built on a foundation of six building blocks.
*Unfolding (organization, clarity, relevance)
*Envelopment
(the "you" concept, focus on reader needs)
*Tone (character, mood, attitude, structure)
*Opening (direction, purpose,
attention, interest)
*Release (change of pace for impact)
*Thrust (the call to action or reaction)
We provide to each participant:
* An introductory letter of welcome explaining course procedures
*
A student profile so that the evaluator knows each participant's writing needs
* Text divided into five units
* A course
schedule listing the dates assignments should be submitted to the evaluator
* Three types of exercises for each of five
instruction units:
* Job-related writing assignments
* Objective analysis
series to build analytical abilities
* Reinforcement exercises to improve understanding
* Final progress review to help chart the course for further
improvement
The benefits
* It's economical--costs much less than a public or in-house
seminar.
* Instruction is direct, confidential, and tailored to each person's development needs.
* Participants, given
their own private consultants, respond to this program with high motivation and performance
* The principles learned can
be applied to all writing situations.
* People who will not or cannot attend group sessions will appreciate the opportunity
to develop their writing skills.
Participants comment . . .
"Because I was an English major in college, initially I
felt you could
teach me nothing. Boy, was I wrong. I hate to sound as if I am an employee of your company with all my
praise, but I really feel that this is the best course I have had since college. I thank you."
Jerry Acuff
Division
Manager - Hoechst-Roussel Pharmaceuticals
----------------------------------------------------"Barbara
was extremely helpful in changing my outlook on writing. She
was very constructive in not only pointing out mistakes,
but she also gave me ways to correct them. I couldn't praise her enough. She seemed to really care . . . She showed me writing
wasn't as difficult as I
thought it to be."
Lawrence Jensen
Associate Scientist - Hoffman-LaRoche
----------------------------------------------------"I
found the course to be very helpful with my career. Thank you for one of the most dynamic courses I will probably ever take."
Jeffery

about a correspondence course, but I was proven
wrong. The evaluations were precise, helpful, and detailed. I received
plenty of praise also."
Linda M. O'Hara
Assistant District Loan Officer - Marine Midland Bank
----------------------------------------------------"Rose
can be critical and still be very tactful. She always gave a better example instead of saying that weak areas existed. I have
already suggested to our training department that all six district managers in my region also be enrolled."

THE SPRING TIME WRITERS WORKSHOPS AND RETREATS
Our full workshop schedule runs from May to September (and
sometimes into October). Generally we do not have workshops in the winter (which is spent working on our own writing
projects).
-----------------------
WE ARE UNIQUE FOR TWO REASONS:
*First, we offer a place where people can get away
from the city, noise, and pollution; as well as, daily distractions, such as housework, office work, phones to answer, kids
or a spouse to attend to -- you only have yourself to take care of and be pampered.
*Second, we specialize in offering
private workshops at reasonable prices. Come privately, or join our group, which is limited to four people so that everyone
gets personal (professional) attention. It ends up being a bonding experience, where people feel safe to "open up" and
be/write their best.
And, of course, you have the beautiful Rocky Mts. with 320 days of sunshine each year,
and brilliant blue skies and a bizillion stars at night!
------------------------
Writing Workshops
* 4-day weekend
Creative Writing
* 4-day weekend Journaling Workshop
The regular schedule of Workshops is offered during the summer
months only, May to September/October; and are usually offered the first weekend of each month.
SCHEDULE: You will
arrive around noon on Friday, and we begin lessons at about 1pm. You will receive instructions, then write a short piece,
we will discuss it, and then you will receive addtitional instructions (building on what you just learned), and then you will
receive a longer writing assignment. We discuss that and continue the process... You will be "in class" all day
Saturday and Sunday (from breakfast to dinner time). Last discussions (and your questions)are taken care of on Monday,
and you will leave about 12 noon (catching a plane at about 4-5pm)
While there are specific lessons given,
each is adjusted to suit your personal needs; and attention is paid to your particular area of interest (eg, biography, magazine
writing, short stories, etc.) Let me know your area of interest.
Cost is $555 which includes meals and lodging!
(discounts
if you bring a writing student friend)
One-on-one counseling, to suit your needs.

Please note, we have a
cat, and some (regular) stairs that you would have to climb. We are at a high altitude of about 6,600 feet. This
does not bother most people, but if you have heart or breathing problems, you may want to check with your doctor.
Attend a workshop in the Colorado Rocky Mt. Region to improve
your writing skills while relaxing in a mountainside retreat, with endless sunshine and deep-blue skies, breathing in fresh
mountain air, and enjoying fresh foods. Be nurtured with warm, professional tutoring on how to get your book or memoirs started
or refined, or write short stories and essays. Classes restricted to only one to four people to enable private attention (special
arrangements for groups up to eight). Most workshops are especially designed for women. (see below "Home" page for more details.)
Includes creative writing in everything you do: fiction, self-help non-fiction, and journalings.
This is from Kathleen Spring:
"You can either come for
a 4-day weekend, or extend the visit for a full week and see our spectacular Rocky Mountains."
