We all know how hard it is to carve out time to write—and even harder to feel like you’re using that time well. Too often, just as you’ve warmed up, it’s time to stop and return to the rest of your life. But what if you could stay warmed up all the time?
Finding Your Writing Rhythm is a six-week course built around observation-based exercises designed to keep you in a writing frame of mind more often—so that when you do sit down to write, you can find and sustain your rhythm more easily.
Instructor Josh Krigman has taught in a wide variety of settings, with a focus on accessibility and building a generative, sustainable writing practice. In this intimate class, Josh will guide writers through a curriculum designed to make your relationship to writing both more productive and more enjoyable.
Over the six weeks, we’ll explore ways to take your writing practice beyond your desk, beginning with the creation of your own writing sketchbook. Unlike a traditional notebook, a sketchbook isn’t for ideas to be saved and developed later—it’s a space to practice writing for its own sake. It becomes a tool for observing the world through language, helping you stay open and attentive more often.
Through daily observation exercises, in-class prompts, and ongoing assignments, you’ll build your sketchbook and expand your relationship to writing—from the status of a single project to the way you engage with the world. Along the way, you’ll generate plenty of new material and experiment with techniques for developing and sustaining a writing practice that works for you.
This class is open to writers of all experience levels.
