Declaring Our Erotic (Fall '09 Declaring Our Erotic)

Have you been thinking about exploring some new edges in your writing? Are there longings you'd like to find language for? Would you like to write more realistic or creative sexual scenes in your fiction and/or non-fiction? Now's the time: Join this AWA-method sexuality writing workshop and: * Get more comfortable exploring and talking about sexual desires, * Receive strong and focused feedback about your new writing, * Explore the varied and complex aspects of sexuality and desire, and, of course, * Try your hand at some explicit erotic writing! In addition, if you choose, you may share your manuscripts with peer writers for well-rounded response to your erotic work. In 8 weeks, you'll create an exciting body of fresh and (often) surprising new writing! No previous writing experience necessary -- Open to folks of all writing abilities! Write with others in exercise-driven and permissive writing workshops, utilizing the Amherst Writers and Artists workshop model. We write in response to exercises that evoke various aspects of our erotic, sexual and sensual selves, in a safe and confidential group of peers. This workshop is designed to leave you more confident with sexual language, erotic expression, and your own uncensored writing practice.
