If you’re interested. Folks find it useful. It’s not unlike the course at CCCC called “Voluntary Simplicty.” Judy Hogan
Hogan Workshop for Creative Writers and Artists May 17
Judy Hogan, mystery author, poet and free-lance writer, will be offering her workshop “Lifestyle Support for Writers and Artists” May 17, Saturday, 9 AM-4 PM at her home in Moncure in Chatham County. The focus will be on all the many ways that writers and artists can reliably get their work done, including managing time, money, diet, exercise, so as to live in a healthy, self-confident way, with regular time set aside for creative work. In-class exercises will promote problem solving, freeing up creativity, and setting and attaining goals. Coffee, lemon grass tea, and homemade bread will be provided. Participants are asked to bring dishes to share in a pot-luck lunch.
Dawn Shamp, a former student of Judy’s and author of the debut novel On Account of Conspicuous Women, comments: “Judy Hogan is a quiet, enigmatic force in a literary world increasingly defined by noisy salutes and forgotten legacies. But the fortunate among us who are able to sit at her knee or sweat at her side have a rare opportunity to learn holistic lessons – not only about classic literature and its importance to our daily slogging over keyboards and reference texts, but also about life, commitment to ideals, and independent thought. Judy has taught me to love Literature, and in the process, to believe in its extension to my own craft. Whatever I achieve in my writing hearkens to her grounding and support…”
Those interested may contact Judy by phone (919)545-9932 or email: The daylong workshop costs $50. To reserve a place, send $20 deposit to PO Box 253, Moncure, N.C. 27559-0253.
