8 March Write Every Day at The Chattery generative writing workshop with Lisa Pasold and Jennifer K Dick
The Chattery in Chattanooga invites you to the “Write Every Day” WORKSHOP 4:30-6:30pm the 8thof March 2020 with JENNIFER K DICK & LISA PASOLDAT: La Chattery 1800 Rossville Avenue, Suite 108B, Chattanooga, Tennessee https://www.facebook.com/events/192014548870542/Get TICKETS/ ENROLL: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/write-every-day-tickets-91906513857
Visiting authors Jennifer K Dick (American author of 3 poetry collections residing in France for over 20 years) & Lisa Pasold (Canadian author of 1 novel and 4 poetry collections, currently residing in New Orleans) offer you a gernative writing WORKSHOP on the topic of "WRITE EVERY DAY":
In this two-hour "Write Every Day" workshop, we discuss how to create a daily writing practice--diary or fiction, poetry or quickly-jotted note. Then we will begin generating some work for today.
Writing during the workshops will be based on daily writing prompts and ideas for creating patterns of exploration that can be built on individually and personally. Participants will discuss and share their own ideas on how a daily practice is a mental anchor, both creatively and spiritually, and how material from the daily writing--interior, messy, private--can be shaped into crafted work. Open to all genres of writing, this workshop resonates both with experienced writers, authors who may feel blocked, and with new writers and non-writers, who want to open themselves up to creating a personal creative routine.
This class is taught by touring poets, on a reading and teaching tour through the Southern states.
As writing instructors, both Jennifer and Lisa have worked with all levels of writers as instructors, editors and mentors. Jennifer has taught for the Paris Writers' Workshop, the Kent Paris School of the Arts MA in Creative Writing, WICE, Oxbridge Summer Programs (for High School writers), bilingual workshops at the Université de Haute Alsace and in Paris, and has guest workshopped at Naropa, LIA Brooklyn’s MFA program and with undergraduate creative writers. She ran a long-time, Paris-based novel writing group (and all of those who attended now have published books). Lisa Pasold has taught writing independently as a writing mentor for years, as well as taught workshops for schools and community groups, including at WICE in Paris, and in Toronto and Montreal in Canada, and in New Orleans and elsewhere in the States. Lisa has also worked as editor and journalist. Recently, she has been deeply involved in storytelling tour giving, and she is ready to provide you with wonderful advice on voice and the practices of developing voices in your writing.

Mobile, AL 7 March Haunted Bookshop Workshop with Lisa Pasold and Jennifer K Dick

Visiting authors Jennifer K Dick (American author of 3 poetry collections residing in France for over 20 years) & Lisa Pasold (Canadian author of 1 novel and 4 poetry collections, currently residing in New Orleans) offer you a HAUNTED BOOKSHOP WORKSHOP A two-hour "Write as You Read" workshop for adult authors or teens (15 and over). In the "Write as You Read" workshop, we will discuss and then write based on how authors throughout history have written in dialogue with those who came before: create, respond, steal, remake characters, forms, sound. This is writing & reading as a daily practice of building towards your own unique voice. Participants will be invited to visit the bookstore before we begin and to select a few books to use as prompts or share as prompts for others. We will close with a focus on how such daily practice can be a mental anchor, both creatively & spiritually, and how material from the dialogic writing can be shaped into crafted public work departing from its anchor and prompt. Open to all genres of writing, this workshop resonates both with experienced writers, authors who may feel blocked, and with new writers and non-writers, who want to open themselves up to language for the first time to create a personal creative routine.
