BIG NEWS: My craft-driven writing community, Sustenance, opens September 9th to 50 new members. This is the last time we will open this year and you must be on the waitlist to enroll. Not only do I teach regularly in Sustenance, but we bring in monthly guests like Ellen Bass, Danez Smith, and Chen Chen.
Last night’s replay: Gritty Revision
In class, we discussed:
How revision is about re-seeing, not just editing.
How to find the true heartbeat of a piece by pushing beyond your first draft.
The one transformative strategy that helps you break free from linear storytelling and let memory, emotion, and surprise shape the work.
Here’s what participants said about last night:
Joy is a brilliant writer and teacher, and I have to say this workshop was one of the best I’ve been to so far. Using this tool to shake up lines written was mind-blowing.—Natalie
What a delightful revelation this process was! I enjoyed it so much. —Andrea
This revision workshop was spooky powerful! —Jon
