Spring Creative Commitment (WCC):
Wake, Write, Rewild

The spring edition of Creative Commitment is inspired by the melting of the ice, the waking of the wildflowers, and the sparking of Aries fire. How can we create with wildness (as opposed to chaos)? How can we move toward summer deadlines while still celebrating daily ritual, imperfection, and wonder?

The Creative Commitment helped me reinvigorate my WIP after a slow winter…Claire's unique frameworks for writing (whether setting intentions or diving deep into characters) always inspire energy and ideas. ~Spring Creative Commitment Attendee

What do you want to create this spring (or finish before summer)? Are you reaching the end of a novel draft? Tackling submission goals? Or starting something brand new?

This three-month offering will give you the structure you need to create with the energy and fun of fellow writers. It’s an opportunity to make major moves before summer, but with nourishment and support. And, of course, there will be snail mail surprises and lots of magic.

Early bird pricing ends at midnight on March 15.

It encompassed my need to celebrate spring by committing to myself creatively. Everything we did was a part of that. ~Spring Creative Commitment Attendee

This three-month, intention-oriented offering includes:

• 30 minute consultation with me prior to our first gathering to discuss personal goals and desires. An opportunity to declare: This is where I want to be in three months.

• 3 Saturday morning virtual gatherings* from 10am-12:30pm CST for studying craft, sharing intentions**, and getting work done. *All gatherings will be recorded and available for one week following the scheduled session. **SCC is capped at fifteen writers.

• Special guest artist visit at one Saturday gathering.

• 30 minute follow-up to discuss where you are and what you need to keep the energy going.

• Two 1.5 hour Studio Sessions for working in community with optional guided writing.

• Special snail mail prior to our first gathering to give you sweet inspiration for the months to come.

• Option to sign up for a majorly discounted manuscript read.

• Celebratory reading (reading optional) for applause and affirmation.

• Curated playlist for spring work + other fun bonus-tools along the way.
