You had me at “modernist hangover.” *subscribes*

I LOVE this way of pulling out a key theme from a past event and sharing it here. Repetition is so key to learning, at least for me! There is so much good content, but often I find myself with a goal to watch or read it all, instead of taking one that resonates and spending a lot of time with it. I would love to see more of this 💫

I know, and I feel the same way, Brian. Mike is giving us gold, lol.

Well do I have some good news for you! Haha. I totally agree. I'm going to be taking a closer look at a new CWC guest speaker's workshop each month. There's some real gold there and I can't wait to share it with everyone.

Would love to nudge you towards Marti's session on how to write character! I feel like I need a cheatsheet of the wisdom/ideas she shared. xx

I’ll definitely check this one out 👍

You read my mind. I'm eyeing that for a first watch this week. Looking forward to learning a lot.

Thank you so much for this! The exercise you provided at the end was a great way to play with dropping into a scene, and landing within the layers a landscape naturally provides. I really enjoyed it, especially challenging myself to explain nothing. Just drop in. Here is the poem that I ended up with: https://elzadajames.substack.com/p/it-is-time-to-bury-this-season
