We’ll also be viewing videos related to the topics throughout the course. This course will also include special guests, including WGA writers and producers working in television today. Students will get the opportunity to ask questions and get a behind-the-scenes look into how television is made, learning about the different career paths to becoming a professional television writer and what showrunners, producers, creative executives, and fellowship competitions are looking for from writers working today.

Fall Equinox is that time of the year when the hours of daylight and nighttime are of equal length; it’s also the time of celebrating the harvest and preparing for the winter ahead. In this Equinox observance, we’ll gather in the Native Plant Learning Garden in Bird Park where we’ll be inspired by the expansive native plant garden. We’ll wander the paths along the dry stream beds, breathing in the scents of mint and sage, accompanied by bird song and bright butterflies, and discover the diversity of San Diego’s various and many native plants. During our time together, we’ll discuss Equinox lore and legend, explore our many links and connections with the season, and retreat into our notebooks and journals to harvest remembrances of summer-past and note our intentions for the coming season. Wear comfortable clothes and walking shoes, a sun hat. Bring your journals or notebooks and water. Plenty of free street parking is available adjacent to Bird Park on 28th Street.

This intuitive creation process is highly motivating; it enhances self-awareness and the flow of ideas and connection with others. 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.

Your story isn’t meant to sit quietly on the page. It’s meant to breathe. To move. To make people lean in and forget to blink. In this 6-week creative “play shop,” you’ll bring your writing, your wild ideas, your lived experiences, and your talent—and together we’ll transform them into a performance that grabs an audience by the heart. Every week, you’ll share your works-in-progress, get real-time feedback, and watch your material rise to a whole new level. And because this is me, we’ll do it with laughter, play, and a whole lot of “Wow, I didn’t know I could do that.” By the end? You won’t just have a piece you’re proud of but a performance ready for our LIVE in-person showcase that will leave your audience talking about you long after the curtain falls. All levels welcome. Whether you’re new to performing or a seasoned pro ready to stretch yourself, you’ll be seen, supported, and challenged to shine. Note: There will be no session on October 2.
