Writing Salon Video #1 - a pandemic pep-talk writing session...

WELCOME, writer friends, to your first writing salon video. 

These videos are designed to be a deep, immersive writing experience, so take some time to settle in and get cozy. Set aside an hour or so for each experience. 

You can also create a happy group experience by inviting friends to write with you. **Just make sure if you read and offer any feedback at the end, to create safety by saying ONLY what you loved about the piece. These are fledgling creations, and you want to protect the seeds and nurture them so they can grow! 

Video #1 is dedicated to all of us who need some extra nurturing through the seemingly never-ending pandemic. The isolation has affected artists deeply! Let this salon be a salve and a balm as you keep going on...

So, grab your favorite pen and journal or computer, and settle in with your favorite tea beverage. Get cozy. And enjoy the adventure...

ps NOTE: the sound from the "noise machines" seems to be imperceptible. Use your imagination and give yourself applause anyways!
