Are you ready to be a writer but not sure where to start? Or are you feeling dehydrated and tired with your writing and could benefit from a healthy boost of creative energy?

Whether you’re looking for a great way to kick-start your writing practice, or you need a serious creative pick-me-up, this 31-day highly engaging online course is an excellent way to do it.

Cultivating Creativity: How to Start and Sustain a Writing Habit in 31 Days turns creative people into writers and brings the writer in you back to life.

This online course– delivered to you each day by email– takes you through a month of daily writing practice with lessons, videos, resources, excerpts, and the support and guidance you need to to see a whole new confidence, approach, and lifestyle emerge.

The outcome? New skills, increased confidence, an embodied response to developing a writing habit, and a portfolio of new writing that will become rich early drafts of short stories, a novel, a screenplay, poetry, and more.

Why Is This Particular Course Valuable?

While you can take a writing course or workshop, attend a conference, or hunker down for a session at a writing residency or with other writers in November for NANOWRIMO (National Novel Writing Month)—all of which are excellent ways to juice up your creative energy and get you moving in a productive direction—those situations don’t always happen when you need them.

You could also read any number of books on writing craft, and should!, but their guidance and teachings remain theoretical without becoming a physical and embodied part of your life.

This course takes the best of all writing instruction and brings it to you in a fun, intelligent, and motivational format on your schedule. Each day, you will learn, grow, be encouraged to take risks, and see the benefit in creating and exploring your voice and ideas, giving yourself the chance to begin something incredible for yourself as a new habit.

The best part is you can begin any time- and because it’s delivered to you by email every day, you can (and will be encouraged to) find your optimal writing time to take part in the lessons and writing each day. Those 20-30 minutes a day become your time to develop as a writer and see your thoughts emerge on the page.

In 31 days, you’ll have developed a daily writing habit that will become part of your life and an important part of who you are.

Course Overview

Every day for 31 days, you will be guided through how to begin your writing habit, ways to establish it, and how to sustain it for the long haul.

Beginning Day 1, you’ll receive a lesson with instructional materials, videos, resources and readings, and writing prompts. Every other day, you will receive a lesson, and on the alternating days, you’ll receive a writing prompt, which will give you some breathing space between the lessons to absorb and apply what you’ve learned to your writing and the opportunity to focus on your work.

MONEY-BACK GUARANTEE

Community Connections: The Writers’ Lounge Online

A key part of the course is the community connection you get with other writers. Come into our private Facebook group, The One Lit Place Writers Lounge, where writers  from around the world chat, share ideas, and exchange resources.

Joining this group ensures you always have support, people to grouse and celebrate with, and beta readers (fellow writers who will read your drafts), which is very handy for when you take all your material you generated during this course and begin to finesse it for publication!

Plus, if you ever dreamed of writing a novel, this course is the perfect way to warm yourself up, generate plenty of material, and become comfortable with viewing life through a writer’s lens.

By the time you’re done, you’ll be ready for one of our 4-month mentored book programs in the Novel, Memoir, or Business | Self-Development genres, all of which provide a full framework of support, instruction, and guidance to writers and gives you everything you need to write your book in 4 months.

The Instructor- Jenna Kalinsky

I love writing and also helping other writers see their own work and process through fresh eyes in order to arrive at clarity and purpose. Cultivating Creativity is a collection of ideas I have learned along the way of becoming a writer myself, and assembling it to meet the needs of an emerging writer has been a labor of love. I know how satisfying it is to feel confident in my choice to turn my creativity into a writing practice- and career- and I want the same for you.
