Permission to Create: Break Through Writing Block and Generate New Work (2 hours)
 
May 4 6-8 p.m. in-person
​
Whether it's overthinking, a hectic schedule, or lack of confidence, nearly every writer suffers through dry seasons or times of feeling stuck in a less-than-satisfying routine. Jen Knox will share practical tips and exercises to help writers at every level bust through limiting patterns, increase momentum, and explore freely on the page. This class will include practices to help you rediscover inspiration and jumpstart your writing, such as creating and defending a writing schedule, dealing with the inner critic, and finding flow. You'll leave the class with new writing and creative resolve. Join us!

TESTIMONIALS

​​

"I am so grateful to have met Jen Knox on my writing journey! I was drawn to her in a crowded Zoom room and trusted the intuitive connection, and the more I got to know Jen, the more I wanted to work on my book with her. She is efficient, positive, knowledgeable, community-oriented, and supports writers with clear passion and natural leadership. Jen's Writing Circle is so helpful for me because as a woman, I have never had direct feedback on how intimate details of my memoir might impact those reading. The feedback I get from Jen and the other writers about the value of this story and how it makes them feel encourages me to keep going." Sarah Poet, Tedx Speaker

​

​​

"Jen's circles are beautiful containers for writers to further refine their work and benefit from the support of other like-minded writers. I come out of every session more in love with the process of creating and looking forward to the next round of feedback!" Seema J.

​​

"Jen’s feedback on my writing has been instrumental in propelling me forward and believing in my own voice. She has helped me find my strengths and encouraged me to press further into the terrain of writing. This is the first time in my life where I feel confident to say, I’m a writer!" Beca S.

​

"Jen's Writing Circles is an inspiring group, led by an inspirational teacher, Jen Knox. The writing prompts truly unleash creativity." - Kari 

​​

"I'm a published author because of Jen and the communities I've found through her." Richard M.
