Writing for Boys

If you read the blog often, you know that I try to share book  titles that appeal to boys who are reluctant readers.  While I focus on books that boys may like, I don't often focus on writing specifically for boys.  Well, here's an opportunity for all the aspiring authors out there to hone their craft and capitalize on the need for exciting books that grab boys' attention.  The Highlights Foundation is offering this workshop on writing for boys.  Check it out.  Who knows?  You may be the next Jeff Kinney!

Happy reading and writing,
Christine

Body of Writing

Mimi Cross is a multi-talented mom, writer, musician and yoga instructor. This Friday, she is offering a workshop called, Body of Writing and there is still room to sign up!

Enjoy!




With Mimi Cross                                                                                         www.bodyofwriting.com

 

7:30pm - 9:00pm, Friday October 25th — Body of Writing Sampler. All levels. All genres.

Monmouth Beach Yoga & Wellness, 36 Beach Road, Monmouth Beach, NJ 07750

$15 per person, call to reserve your spot 732.263.1200

 

Body of Writing offers a combination of inspirational writing exercises and simple yoga postures as well as meditation and visualization techniques designed to help workshop participants access the stories they carry, often unknowingly, in their bodies.

Calming breathing techniques will allow participants to move deeper into the process of unearthing their stories. The artistic aspect of each participant will be challenged and nurtured, and everyone will leave Body of Writing feeling stimulated and relaxed. Some individuals will depart with new goals for their writing lives or the start of a new piece.

Body of Writing is both energizing and soothing. No previous experience with yoga or writing is necessary.

Body of Writing participants will explore their writing and their bodies, and receive the benefits of connecting the two.

Attendees of this special evening sampler of Body of Writing will begin to learn how to leave their inner critics at the door and listen to their bodies instead!
