Sometimes, when we’re just starting out with a creative dream, it’s hard to know what we need. We may not be tackling a big project like a book, or a series of articles or essays. So our writing life can feel amorphous, like it’s not real. It exists inside us as a desire, but there’s not a lot of structure in the world to give it shape.
We have to give it shape. I like the idea of designing our own curriculum. One that suits our needs, meets us where we’re at, and helps us to feel a sense of focus and containment. I’ve always thrived in a learning environment, and the idea of a course of study that I design and work with always helps me. Does this idea of designing your own writing course resonate with you?
In this solo episode of Stumbling Toward Genius, you’ll get ideas about how to design structure around your creative work, whether it’s writing or art-making. You’ll also hear about what I am working on this fall and how I am coping with the daunting thrill of it...
