Seasonal Intentions: Autumn Equinox Writing

“Honoring the seasonal shifts in the solstices and equinoxes is powerful,” says instructor Jessica Litwak. “We can set new intentions for our writing lives and write freely about the essence of what the season can mean for us.”

In this half-day class, participants will use the theme of autumn to create new writing in their preferred genre: script, poetry, fiction, or nonfiction. In a supportive and nurturing community, each participant will also have the opportunity to outline their writing goals for the season. Jessica says, “Autumn is filled with changes—weather change, mood change, leaf change—and it is a perfect time to welcome change into our own lives as writers.”

For inspiration and guidance with our own writing, we will read poems, scenes, and short stories and listen to songs about various aspects of autumn. Everyone will walk away from the experience with the beginnings of a new piece of writing, as well as a writing plan for the season. We’ll part with the encouraging voices of fellow writers ringing in our ears.
