Practice, as Crescent developed it, is not a diary, journal, or "writer's notebook." It's not
"morning pages" a la Julia Cameron / The Artist's Way, nor is it a rough draft of "real writing." In just 2 hours, you'll understand
- what a Writing Practice is and isn't, and why you need one
- why it changes your writing (and indeed your life as a whole)
- how to fall in love with writing for its own sake
You'll know how to
- create a daily 'setting' that makes Practice effortless, achievable, self-validating
- use two simple, elegant, inspiring Writing Practice forms
- discover the ways in which the forms, setting, and Practice itself alter and elevate your writing and general self-understanding
