Friendly Feedback: Critique to Keep Going with Adrienne Garrison

10 AM PT / 12 PM CT /1 PM ET

The writing life can be lonely and discouraging. We often desire community and feedback on our writing, but it can be vulnerable to share our work with others. In this one-hour workshop, we'll discuss how sharing our writing at various stages of the process can be part of creating a sustainable writing practice. We'll brainstorm various types of feedback and explore how even non-writers in our circle can champion us along. Participants will come away with ideas for how to process negative feedback, how to create a writing partnership that is encouraging and impactful, and why mother-writers uniquely benefit from writing in community. This is open to both Exhale and non-Exhale members!

GNI: All about Websites with Exhale Member Lara d'Entremont

3 PM PT / 5 PM CT /6 PM ET

Do I need a website? And if so, what on earth do I do with it? How do I make it a hospitable place of comfort and encouragement? How do I draw in my ideal reader to sit and relax with my words after a long, wearying day? Together, we’ll discuss what kind of website you may need, what are the important aspects of a website to include, and simple ways to make it a place where people come for peace, not become overwhelmed.
