THE LAYERS SUBSCRIPTION
Write with us.
COMMIT TO YOUR WRITING PRACTICE…
…WHILE BUILDING CREATIVE COMMUNITY
I created The Writing the Layers monthly subscription to provide a weekly flow of self-discovery ideas for your writing practice,
as well as a community environment that offers inspiration and connection.
. . .
the free layers subscription includes:
FREE MONTHLY WRITING PROMPTS
I send these prompts at the beginning of each month as offerings to nurture your creative practice. Using these prompts as writing triggers, you can explore your voice and creative impulses in a playful, no-stress way. You can use them to trigger a moment of reflection, tempting you to pick up your pen and write a poem or recall a memory or describe a scene. You can challenge yourself to fit all of them into one story or train of thought. The purpose is to explore your creative impulses.
FREE MONTHLY WRITING WORKSHOPs
The Writing the Layers free monthly workshop is a virtual safe space for adult writers —
from beginners to seasoned hobbyists to professionals — to nurture their writing practice and connect with other writers. On the first Friday of each month, we spend an hour doing a series of freewrites based on the monthly prompt list. Participants have the opportunity to write, share, listen, offer supportive feedback, and come away feeling inspired and replenished.

GROUP JOURNALING + creative self-discovery SESSIONS
Each month, we have group journaling sessions and/or creative self-discovery sessions. Practice sessions are 90-minute monthly writing sessions featuring special guests and community members who discuss the ups and downs of their creative path and share a journaling prompt with the group that we work on together. In our creative self-discovery sessions, participants come away with idea generation and drafting techniques for writing about their lived experiences.
