Intro to Journaling will get you into the habit of daily writing. Research shows that journaling has a myriad of benefits, including an increase in creativity, organization, achieving goals, as well as an improvement in mental health. Each day students will alternate from writing stream of consciousness to answering writing prompts. By the end of the program, students will be in the habit of journaling for ten minutes a day. Along with daily journaling, weekly Zoom classes will take place where you will check-in, meditate, and do journaling exercises. The class will provide community, inspiration, and accountability. Students will also have a private call with Emily at the beginning of the program to identify goals. You will be emailed the Zoom link 24 hours before the start of class. If you sign up less than 24 hours before the start of the class, please email Kristen at programs@sandiegowriters.org for your link.

Finally, in part two of an ongoing series looking at the effect the pandemic has had on the local performing arts scene, we look at the state of live theater.
