"Thanks to Catherine's course and ongoing mentoring, I know that I can write. And I am working on my first novel. Being a writer is now not only a dream, it is also a reality."

 

Write Yourself into Being: This is a writing course, quite simply, for those who want to explore writing. No previous experience is necessary.      (Testimonials)

 

The initial 8 week package establishes the daily habit of flowing onto the page--of diving deep to discover what is haunting you, what is 'writing' you. From this material stories, memoirs and poems can come.

Specific exercises define each week's work:

1) The Basic Process
2) Finding Your Inner Plot
3) Finding Your Inner Characters
4) Finding Your Inner Landscape
5) Finding Your Inner Myth
6) Exploring Your Dreams
7) Exploring Poetry
8) Finding Your Inner Voice

With each week's exploration, you send me up to 3 pages double-spaced. I read, listen and mirror back what I see and hear emerging -- what patterns, what energies, what clarity and focus, what depth and desire, drive the writing. To release the Voice, to reveal the Self --- in effect, to come alive on the page -- this is the essence of Write Yourself into Being.

After the initial eight weeks, I tailor exercises more individually, as the material begins to find its own shape in poetry, fiction or memoir.

Initial 8 week course for individual online mentoring: $320 Cdn.($40 per exploration) (includes a weekly exercise online with 3 pages, double-spaced, read and reviewed)

Continuing individualized exercises (A weekly personalized lesson online, with a review of 3 pages - $45 Cdn.)
