A Class With Me
Except one time—in Nashville in 2019—I’ve never taught a live class.
I’m going to now. This post is an “early alert.” We’ll have a website and registration site with all the info up in a few days. For now, here’s the gist:
The event will be a one-day class/retreat, with me and my friend Roda Ahmed.It’ll be on June 8, a Saturday, at the Zuma Orchid Ranch in Malibu, California.It’ll be outdoors in a beautiful location.I’m not sure yet what the cost will be. That’ll be in the website.The event is for writers, artists, and entrepreneurs of all kinds.
The subject matter will NOT be the craft of writing. I won’t be talking about structure or characterization or anything like that.
The day will be about the mindset that the writer/artist needs to start and finish a project like a novel, a long-form TV script, or a book/album/game/startup … that may take a year or two years … and that will have to be accomplished essentially ALONE, i.e. without an external supporting structure like a school, a corporation, or a community.
In other words: How do you go into a room all by yourself, with just a laptop, and keep working positively and creatively despite all the hell that life and your own fevered brain is going to throw at you?
This will be a serious, hard-core, tough-love day. Don’t sign up if you’re just fiddling around. You’ll be wasting your money.
Come for real.
More details in the next few days.
