  • Wild Muse Intuitive Writing
    Winter 2022
    Memory as Muse
    “Writing sometimes feels frivolous
    and sometimes sacred, but memory
    is one of my strongest muses.”
    – Marge Piercy, Braided Lives

    All writers are welcome—beginning, emerging, and published.

    The primary focus is on short form memoir written in prose and poetry. I share examples of excellent writing by established and emerging writers. We write together two or more times each week (10-15 mins. each). You may go with the flow or use the writing time to work on your own project.
    .
    All forms of writing are welcome (poetry, prose, hybrid, memoir, essay, flash, micro, vignette, fragment—even fiction).
