Writing Class Sustainable Practice Spring 2022


Cultivating a sustainable writing practice

with Alissa Hattman

Saturday, March 12th, 1PM PST – 4PM PST 

Our practice—how we labor as writers—is highly personal. When we create a writing habit, it helps to consider our individual creative processes, life priorities, writing goals, and all the ways that we get in the way of our own writing. How we labor is also bound up in cultural notions of productivity and success that can often kill the creative drive. It can be hard to consistently carve out time in order to cultivate the type of patient, inner stillness required to write, but it is possible. Necessary, even. In this supportive workshop, we will talk about how to design a sustainable writing practice that aligns with your creative process, priorities and schedule, and personal definition of writing success. We will do some reflective writing, discuss our setbacks and successes, talk about what inspires us, and leave with a new plan for writing. All you will need for this workshop is three hours of Saturday afternoon free of distraction, a device that can connect with us on Zoom, and something to write on, whether that’s pen/paper, laptop, or a typewriter. $25/3 hours. All welcome.
