There’s a few things happening in September.
My Friend and fellow writer, Jack Grisham is releasing a new book, Transmission. The event will be held at Soap Plant Wacko Saturday September 6th 7pm to 10pm. I’ll be reading along with Jack, Jennifer Finch (L7), Iris Berry (Punk Hostage Press), Mike Magrann (Channel 3) and Michael Marcus. It’s being advertised as ADULTS XXX.
Be there or be square.
My online writing course: Writing Through Trauma, starts September 5th. This has traditionally been one of my more popular courses and there’s still a few spots open.
It runs four weeks, it’s Asynchronous (work at your pace on your time), and offered by Antioch University’s Continuing Education. The cost is $250.
Short Description:
When we experience a traumatic event, our memories are affected. Our perception of that event, and previous events can be negatively influenced. This negative influence can manifest itself as fear, resentment, and anger. All, or any of these, will affect our behaviors, relationships, abilities, and self-esteem—in short, our entire lives.
By learning to decipher what are actual memories and what are imagined, we can navigate the emotional obstacles of guilt, fear, shame, ego, and resentment; while exposing whatever secrets we are holding onto that are causing us emotional pain. And, as writers, working through our trauma will open up vast areas that we previously feared to explore. This will not be therapy. It is more an honest evaluation of self that will result in writing an in depth personal essay.
