THREE Online Classes to Choose From:

 

Writing from the Subconscious Mind

Learn to Love the Writing Process

Thursdays 5-8 PM

 

Writing Open the Mind Intensive

Wouldn’t you love to have FUN with writing?

 

For years I’ve been developing and refining this method of writing without all the struggle. It’s called Writing from the Subconscious Mind. People tell me over and over again how it has helped them liberate their writing. It’s a method to jump right in, break down all the walls that keep your writing tame and write like crazy! Join this class learn this method to keep you excited to write.

Each week you will get:

  • A new mind-opening freewrite to we will all do together live: open to the unknown!
  • A chance (if you want) to read that new work aloud to others using our special form of nourishing feedback that doesn’t trigger the fear reflex.
  • Q & A with Andy, as well as discussion with other students.

PLUS:

  • A copy of Andy’s Book: Writing Open the Mind
  • Audio mp3 recordings of each week’s writing exercise sent to you by email for you to try again on your own
