Writing Your Life As A Woman A class taught in the style of journal writing workshops… The class meets once a week for four weeks and is offered at two different times: Tuesdays, 7:00 p.m. - 9:00 p.m. and Wednesdays 10:00 a.m. - 12:00 noon. We meet at a private home in South Austin. Upcoming sessions: Class fee $75. Email dean@deanlofton.com to register. I was a guest on KEYE's We Are Austin Live "Need a nudge to get those creative juices flowing? Women looking for a casual, creative environment where they can share their words would do well to sign up for this motivating and positive experience." "Pencil in some time for yourself... participants de-stress, Feel like when everything is taken care of there’s no time left for you? Give yourself two hours a week away from it all. Put pen to paper and ponder your life. Write about your past, present and future. Remember things you haven’t thought about in years. What happens in class... In this class we awaken our creative spirits with writing exercises – about ideas, and what makes us happy, and descriptions, and feelings, and déjà vu, and when we feel most creative, and people we’ve known, and a jillion other things.
In their own words: "Dean's class helped me get more in touch with my writing, my life direction and a lot of kick ass females. I recommend this class to anyone looking for a little pick me up in the soul department." "Taking this workshop has been an amazing thing for me. I am learning how to allow all of my thoughts and words to reach the paper without judging them...in fact, I am learning how to appreciate and celebrate what I already have inside! This class has been such an amazing experience and I am looking forward to seeing how this affects my songwriting as well." ". . . when I saw the ad for Dean's class, it was a no brainer. Her passion for the craft of writing comes through so strongly in everything she does and I needed some of that to rub off on me. So motivating!" "Dean's workshop is the best part of my week. I've taken her class twice now (ironically both times in October) and it really sets me up for writing. Since November is "National Novel Writing Month (NaNoWriMo)" I have seen Dean's instruction as a great training program to warm me up. I *heart* Dean's class!" "I have really enjoyed the class' 'write & share' flow - sharing before editing was scary, but it turned out to be very valuable. It confirmed for me how we touch each other through writing when it comes straight from the heart." " … gave me a structure and focus to organize my thoughts and emotions... helped me to build confidence in my writing and a better sense of self-esteem." "... gave me confidence and faith in myself, in others and in the world in general. It was a true blessing." "...tapped into parts of me that were long dormant. Opened doors of creativity and intuitiveness I didn't know I had. The class allowed me to be me." "… provided a refreshing way to reflect on what’s important in my life and why I am who I am." " … I found both the inspiration and the structure to be important." Since 1997 I've designed and taught non-academic, community writing workshops such as Writing Your Life as a Woman, Collecting Your Memories and the Closet Fiction Writer's Workshop.
