Are you an experienced or aspiring writer who wants to write more . . . but it's not happening?
Maybe you feel burned out? You've forgotten why you liked to write in the first place.
Or you hated high school English and never learned the fundamentals. And after the teachers marked your papers up with all those red marks, you decided you should go into accounting instead.
***********
I UNDERSTAND HOW IT FEELS TO STRUGGLE WITH WRITING.
A teacher said to me: "What's wrong with you? Why can't you write?"
Yikes. I wanted to chug down a pitcher of margaritas but I'd stopped drinking.
But the teacher's comment later helped me to create my Improvisational Writing Process.
Over 25 years, thousands of aspiring and experienced writers have used the creative tools of improvisation to free themselves to write.

TESTIMONIALS
"As an author and writer, I am humbled by the ways in which Kelly's Improvisational Writing Workshops bring out my creativity. Her prompts, in-class discussions, and guidelines for sharing my work with other students inspire me! Every week I'm exploring my thoughts, feelings, and stories on paper in a way I wouldn't do on my own — and it's so much fun." Barbara Jaffe is an award-winning English professor at El Camino College, a regular contributor to "Psychology Today", Author of the memoir: "When Will I Be Well Enough? A Replacement Child's Journey to Healing."
“Every single week Kelly created a safe place for deep authenticity and vulnerability for every single person in the group. I expressed myself fully, more than I’d ever done in my writing before. By the end of the course, I knew I could have more fun writing better! I feel very strongly, this course with Kelly is a gift everyone should give themselves and others.” Kim Carpenter, Small Business Owner, Executive Coach, Marketing Strategist
“After years of futile attempts, I started composing flowing melodies, doing auto-biographical writing (despite being afraid to) and gave myself ‘permission’ to finish a large body of unrecorded songs. Thanks to Kelly for being so good at what she does. Her classes were a rich arena for making new friends. At my age and level of cynicism, to have such open and honest exchanges with such a bright-eyed, young and hopeful group recharged my batteries.” Terry Kirkman, Songwriter for The Association, Singer, Psychologist

Write Your Life Stories for a Memoir or as Fictionalized Auto-Biography
