If you feel out of sorts or disorganized in your creative practice, this class will help you find a journaling method that works for you. All Levels welcome.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat to expect:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003eJournaling is proven to boost mental health and help focus your thoughts — and for writers, it can be so much more than that. In this creative writing workshop, you'll learn a range of journaling techniques geared specifically toward the writing life, exploring journaling not just as a way to process and track your thoughts, but as a method for improving your craft and building a sustainable career as a writer.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003eWriters are observers, and one of the best ways to keep track of your observations and ideas is through a dedicated writing journal. Over four weeks, we'll cover the fundamentals of journaling for writers: tracking your writing, managing large ideas and projects, tracking submissions, setting goals, revising in a journal, and more. Along the way, you'll experiment with popular journaling methods — from bullet journaling to morning pages — to discover the approach that fits your life.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003eThis is a hands-on online writing class. You'll be asked to share one journaling exercise each week and to give and receive feedback on each other's work within our Wet Ink classroom. You may also want to pick up a simple notebook to try the techniques on your own.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat are the writing goals?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003eIn this course, students will complete one journaling exercise per week, sharing their work and exchanging feedback with peers in the online classroom. By the end of the four weeks, students will have established a personalized journaling practice, tried multiple journaling methods, and set up a journal structure to carry their writing life into the new year.
