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. Roda Ahmed and I will be hosting the event on June 8

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.
