Keeping Your Writing Resolutions in 2010
A January Workshop
8 sessions over 4 weeks, every Tuesday and Thursday in January
Tuition: $225

What stops you from writing? What keeps you going? How do you sustain a writing practice? In this four week on-line workshop, we’ll look at what you want to write and design a system that supports your goals. Through individual (telephone) conversations with Molly, group discussion, and exercises, you’ll discover what’s in your way and how to use it as motivation rather than inhibition.

This class will meet on-line twice a week to support your writing resolutions. After January, you can segue into the weekly Drop-In Workshop if you’d like a regular deadline and support from a community of working writers. All genres (poetry, fiction, non-fiction) and all levels welcome. Please e-mail Molly to register: molly@mollyfisk.com

A Voice of Your Own: An Internet Workshop for Women
Write Intimately, Truthfully, and Fearlessly in the Tradition of Mary Oliver and Anne Lamott
January 18 - February 26, tuition $250
In this six-week workshop you'll learn to listen for your own voice and nurture it, even if you've never written before. We'll look at why Mary Oliver and Anne Lamott, two very different writers, have connected with women so deeply. Using model poems, prose excerpts, playful writing exercises, and discussion, participants will discover what they want to say and how to say it in a way that is uniquely personal. We'll practice managing internal and external criticism (every writer's — and every woman's — bane), and discover who we're really writing for. Click here for more information and to register.

Molly teaches several on-going classes throughout the year, and occasional one-day or half-day classes. She runs a Poetry Boot Camp — her 6-day internet poetry workshop — once a month.

Molly also works privately with poets on individual poems and book manuscripts. Click here for more information
