We inherit more than stories. We inherit gestures, silences, recipes, heirlooms, landscapes, fears, languages, family myths, and the physical traces of those who came before us. In this two-session generative workshop, we’ll explore how contemporary writers transform ancestral memory into compelling poetry and prose. Through discussion, readings, prompts, and writing exercises, participants will generate new work rooted in family stories, inherited objects, body memory, photographs, language, and cultural history. We’ll read and discuss work by writers such as Joy Harjo, Li-Young Lee, Natalie Diaz, Safia Elhillo, Aracelis Girmay, Grace Talusan, Kiese Laymon, Mira Jacob, Terese Marie Mailhot, and others. The first session will focus on generating material through memory, objects, family stories, and the body. The second session will explore image systems, gaps in family history, and transforming memory into literature, followed by a supportive sharing session. This class is open to poets, memoirists, fiction writers, and hybrid writers interested in exploring ancestry, inheritance, family history, and belonging.

Here’s where the writer gets to work magic through language. Want to create an atmosphere that evokes an emotion in the reader? Do it through description, through setting, through the use of the senses, and the diction of your story. The right choice of words and you move a reader from feeling safe and secure to biting her nails; change the structure of your sentences and take the reader from relaxed to excited. In this workshop, we’ll explore techniques that create atmosphere, generate mood, and evoke emotion, with lots of in-workshop exercises you can apply to your own writing. For all writers—fiction and memoir/nonfiction. San Diego Writers, Ink on Facebook / Instagram

Writing can often feel isolating. However, theatre is definitely a team sport. You don’t have to create in a bubble. In this class, you will get to hear selections of your play out loud so that you can assess if your dialogue, pace, and plot are working. These are things that are difficult to do in your own head. Join award-winning Playwright and teaching artist, Gill Sotu, as we share each other’s work and get valuable weekly feedback to get your short or long form play into shape to submit for readings or productions around the country. This workshop will be limited in size, and the focus will be on playwriting. Novice to experienced writers are encouraged to join. San Diego Writers, Ink on Facebook / Instagram

Explore mindfulness-based writing using fun prompts to collectively inspire and deepen your intuitive expression. Participants in this one-session creative writing workshop will be inspired by a series of short, in-class prompts with a poem and pictures. The aim is to boost creativity and deepen each participant’s intuitive expression through contemplative practices. We will start this workshop with a brief mindfulness settling-in exercise—and a poem to accompany the session’s theme. And after each writing prompt, participants will be encouraged to discuss their work in small groups. This intuitive creation process is highly motivating; it enhances self-awareness and the flow of ideas and connection with others. As a creative writing teacher and published author since 2007, and a trained mindfulness teacher since 2017, I enjoy fostering unique and brave spaces for participants to gather from all backgrounds and walks of life. This course is designed for every type of writer: novelists, poets, screenwriters, playwrights, journalists, essayists, etc., with all levels of experience: from novice writers to seasoned authors. We will focus on the collective inspiration derived from a fresh series of fun and original writing prompts. Just bring a pen and notebook to our online class… And come as you are!
