No Topic Too Small: Turning the Mundane Into the Magical
Dates: July 17th @ 3- 5 pm ET
We often look for big, dramatic moments to carry our stories, but it’s often the ordinary, the human, the specific, and the small that makes a narrative universal. Retraining your brain to slow down and focus on the small stuff is a skill that can be learned and developed. In this class, we’ll do generative writing exercises that help us narrow down our sweeping narratives into something manageable. I’ll introduce you to authors who use the small stuff - crying, fear, even the seasons - to create momentum and power. And you’ll leave with tips and tricks that will help you zoom in on the small details that will have a big impact.
Ruthie’s not only an accomplished editor, she’s a writer too. You can find her essays in Vogue, Glamour, O Magazine, The New York Times, The Atlantic, The Wall Street Journal, Forbes, Salon, Slate, Newsweek, and more. Most recently, she was the Deputy Editor at ForbesWomen.
What You’ll Get…
• generative writing tips to get elevate your storytelling skills
• summer readings recs!
• a community of writers to connect with live
• a recording of class (even if you can’t attend)
