Hello and welcome to the Writing from the Top of Your Head online workshop! I'm thrilled to take you on this journey...
A few pointers - first of all, make sure you read the syllabus - you'll find it waiting for you in Module One.
AND, for the full "IMAX Theater" adventure, please set the course to "full screen," so you can immerse yourself in the experiential aspect of the course. When you watch the videos, let them serve as "transmissions." Allow yourself to be emotionally present, and when you allow yourself to open in this way, your "writing from the top of your head" abilities will be amplified!
A note about "structure." As you make your way through the course, I recommend that you create some boundaries around your Schoolhouse exploration. This is sacred time for YOU, and something you get to do as opposed to have to do.
You can create any kind of structure you like – whatever works for you and your unique life. Perhaps that means 20 minutes a week, 2 - 5 minutes a day, a two-hour block at a cafe, or less or more. Whatever it is, RIGHT NOW, go block that time off in your calendar for (at least) the next eight weeks. Set a reminder on your phone for that writing time (or whatever system works for you). You can always add more time, and morph your schedule.
Whatever you do, keep moving, even if the movement is tiny and incremental. You can also create STRUCTURE by saying to a writer friend, hey let’s meet on the phone for 15 minutes a week and get some writing done. Or, let’s meet at a cafe for gunpowder tea and we won’t talk we’ll just write! Or, tell your partner “Hey, I need you to remind me that I get to write this week. It’s right here in my book – look!” Structure and support and cheerleading are key. And by signing up for this course, you have also automatically created structure! Good on you!
And I HIGHLY recommend that you go through the modules in consecutive order and don’t skip ahead. The modules build on each other in a strategic way. You CAN skip a prompt if it’s not resonating with you, or come back to it later.
I am delighted and honored to have you in this class, and I hope you get everything you need out of Writing from the Top of Your Head, and so much more.
LET'S BEGIN!

**Know that the main Writing from the Top of Your Head workshop that I offer live, is a 6-week course that contains modules 1-5 + module 8 of the online program. Consider modules 6 and 7 as "bonus" rounds. Feel free to skip to module 8 if you like, just to get the full feeling of the course. Or, move through 6 and 7 - up to you!
So far, you've been learning how to let go and fly high. Now, you'll dive deep into the ground of your emotional landscape in order to mine for material that not only touches you but can touch others in a heartfelt way.
