Get moving!
Do you want to write fiction, nonfiction, an article, a play? Have you been talking (and thinking) about it for a long time, but just can’t seem to get it done? Here’s help for you – a seminar with a writing coach who just won’t take No for an answer. Judy has heard every excuse (and tried most of them!) and knows how to give you the nudge you need.
Shut Up and Write! is a highly individualized program in which Judy focuses on your particular goals and finds ways to help you meet them. She’s had a lot of experience doing this, so be prepared to make progress.
The first few sessions include a fair amount of stand-up teaching about the craft. Whatever your level or area of interest, you’ll learn more about writing – fiction and nonfiction, characters, dialogue, scenes, setting, structure, point-of-view, language, project management and publication.
As you learn helpful techniques, you will apply them to a project of your choice. If you don’t have a project in mind, Judy will help you find one. By the end of the course, you will have completed a number of pages and gained confidence and skills you can use to reach the goals you set.
Plan on having homework and on sharing your enthusiasm with others in the group.
“I am absolutely loving the class – it’s going by much too fast! I’m writing, and learning more than I ever have, and that includes writing classes taken in college in the distant past.” ~ Mary Montgomery, about Shut Up and Write!
Prior to founding Redbird, Judy Bridges earned her living writing articles, stories, plays and business communications. She holds a bachelor’s degree in writing and a master’s in adult education.
