Write Funnier Nonfiction: A Seminar
A lot of personal narratives suffer from being too sad or plotless or seemingly irrelevant, and a quick fix is humor. People read nonfiction to spend time with the writer—so if you’re funny, readers will want to spend time with you. Editors will want to spend time with you. You’ll want to spend time with you.
And you don’t have to be born with a sense of humor to be funny and to write funny. Funny is a skill like any other. Writers of every level can learn and memorize concrete ways to joke with confidence about yourself, your life, and your world. In this generative writing seminar, everyone will practice comedic tools with guided instruction to be funnier on the page and at parties, but if that doesn’t happen, it's not my fault.

Writing Vulnerably: A Seminar
It can feel awkward to write about your nightmare thoughts and gross feelings. This is writing vulnerably. Being vulnerable in your writing can feel uncertain, unstable, exposed, outside your comfort zone. It may seem stupid and embarrass you, and you may regret doing it. But to write well or at all, you must love looking like an idiot. If you worry about freaking people out, then you're writing correctly.
No topic or experience is too dark or too sad to write your way into and out of.
This two-hour creative writing seminar is part lecture on what, when, where, why, and how to write vulnerably without selling yourself out, and part generative writing session.
Take this online writing class if you want to see how good your writing can get when you don't stop yourself. To quote the youth: "To be cringe is to be free."

This could be you/us. Learn to weaponize comedy in my very good writing workshops, seminars, and prayer circles.
