SUMMARY:Intro to Creative Writing – 6 Week Workshop
DESCRIPTION:Intro to Creative Writing – 6-Week Online Workshop\nAn Along These Lines Workshop\nEver wondered what it would feel like to finally put your ideas on the page? Curious to explore your voice, try out new forms, and just…write?\nI’m Ellee Achten — a Portland-based multi-medium artist, writer, and creative instructor (MA in Creative Nonfiction, MFA in Fiction) — and I’d love to guide you through this 6-week online workshop. We’ll explore creative nonfiction essays, memoir, short stories, novel starts, and flash-length writing in a supportive, low-pressure space. Unlike many other online workshops, I keep these workshops small with only 10 spots to make sure everyone gets the focused time they need.\nIn this workshop, you’ll have the opportunity to:\n\nExperiment with writing prompts and exercises to spark imagination\nExplore the differences and nuances between genres\nPractice voice, tone, and style across multiple forms\nDive into structure, form, point of view, and tense to strengthen your writing\nParticipate in optional reading sessions to share work and get inspired\nJoin optional peer-workshop sessions with submitted pieces for feedback\nReceive line-level feedback from Ellee on two of your pieces\nConnect with a community of fellow writers\n\nBy the end of six weeks, you’ll have several pieces of your own writing, hands-on experience experimenting with multiple forms, and personalized guidance to strengthen your craft and bring your ideas fully to the page.\nNo experience required—just bring curiosity, an open mind, and a willingness to play with words. Join me from anywhere via Zoom and let’s write together!\nwww.elleeachtenwrites.com\nEmail with questions: elleeachten@gmail.com ( mailto:elleeachten@gmail.com )\n
