2-Busy-2-Write Writers' Group

CORONA VIRUS UPDATE:
Take advantage of social distancing by focusing on creative endeavors! These workshops are a wonderful way to stay inspired and connected from the safety of your home. They will now be taking place via Zoom. Please email clive@matsonpoet.com or call 510-508-5149 for information on how to join us.

Are you busy? Too busy to do the writing you love to do?

Do weeks go by without you putting pen to paper in a creative way?

Well you are not alone. Join the 2-Busy-2-Write writers' group. We meet every week on Tuesday evening to be inspired by prompts, to write and share if we wish.

These are mini Crazy Child workshops, where we allow ourselves to write freely without the overbearing presence of our inner editor. We will meet from 7:00 to 9:00 pm every Tuesday night. Clive will introduce an exercise and then leave us to write in peace for a whole hour. Then we will share, on a voluntary basis, for the second hour.

The suggested donation is $10, paid via PayPal. It’s drop in so you don’t need to reserve a space ahead of time, but it is appreciated if you do. When you RSVP the link will become visible.

The first 2-Busy-2-Write workshop was held on April 1st, 2014. How is that for an auspicious start date? They were held every other Tuesday until last year, when they became weekly.

Clive began his writing career among the Beat Generation in 1960s New York City, mentored by Allen Ginsberg, John Wieners and Diane Di Prima, who published his first book, Mainline to the Heart. Clive’s foundation in Modernism, and his MFA from Columbia University, have supported a 40+ year career as one of the premier creative writing teachers that is unrivaled. He is among the last writers who lived the experience of the culmination of Modernism and will bring that experience to the workshops. You will be the creator as Clive elicits your response to the prompts that will unleash your own writer’s muse. And you will get feedback and advice from the participants with far more understanding and support than is usual in writing classes.
