Agenda for Sunday's erotic writing workshop

a penultimate reminder

Writing the erotic as a radical act of resistance will take place on Sunday, February 4, 2024 at noon ET, 1800 CET via the Write Time Workshop hosted by Matt Jones and Grace Bialeckie. The workshop is free, but donations are encouraged/hoped for. We will split the money. If you’d like the Zoom link, please e-mail me.

Here’s the plan for tomorrow’s workshop. I don’t expect to get to everything on this list; in fact, i’d be happy to answer questions and have a discussion with participants. I’ve prepared slides and notes, so if we don’t get to everything, that’s ok. All participants will receive the slides and notes, plus my ever-expanding list of tips, prompts, and resources for the creation of poetry, prose, visual poetry and hybrid work.
