...teaching
"What I love most about teaching at the Attic Institute has to do with the dynamic that forms within each group of workshopping writers. Each writer brings his or her own bend and energy into the group which, when paired with the others, spins the group forward and helps me prepare unique lesson plans that encourage each writer and honor the group spirit. My greatest hope is that the workshop provides students with a new perspective on their writing, and renewed confidence that their work is valid and good."
...a book to read
"Two companion books: The Hero with a Thousand Faces by Joseph Campbell and The Writer's Journey by Christopher Vogler."
...writing advice
"To the best of your ability, create what you consider to be a sacred writing space. More than having "writing time," space is the most important assest to have, especially for writers who may struggle with focus. A dedicated space is a fantastic and crucial way to honor yourself and your practice."
