My First (And Only) Writing Course

I want to alert you guys to the first and only Writing Course I’ve ever taught. You may remember me talking about this last year. (We held the actual live event in September in Malibu, California.)

Dozens of friends wrote in at the time. “Oh, I wish I could go! I live too far away!” “I’m so sorry to miss it!”

Well, you can go now.

We videoed the full day’s event as it happened. I and my partners Roda and Kriss have been working on this package ever since.

The video version of the “Silent Writing Retreat” is available now. Today.

Here’s the link for full information and to sign up:

I’ll be writing more about this in the coming days (for starters I’m doing an Instagram Live TODAY at 1:00 PM Pacific) but here’s the short version of what the course is about.

Oh, I almost forgot …

A special VIP feature is the opportunity to book a half-hour, one-on-one ZOOM coaching call with me. (More on that later as well.)

The essence of the September event was summed up in its subtitle: OVERCOMING RESISTANCE. The medium was me onstage for the whole day, with breaks for everyone in attendance—about sixty people—to do their own writing in silence. Everyone checked their phones at the door. There was no talking, except by me. No socializing. No chit-chat.

I spoke pretty much non-stop, delivering a distillation of everything I’ve written in The War of Art, Turning Pro and other books … as well as telling in excruciating detail the story of my own journey as a writer—from driving a taxi in New York City and tractor-trailers up and down the East Coast to ten years as a C-level Hollywood screenwriter to thirty years and twenty-something books as a writer of fiction and nonfiction.
