Take a Writing Course!

There are tens of dozens of school and associations, both in America and around the world, that offer writing classes. Many are in-person and but a signficant number of classes are offered online today, which means you could attend a class hundreds or thousands of miles away from your home office. 

Or, picture this: It's post-COVID and you're working remotely full-time. Why not move, even temporarily for, say, a six-week course in a beautiful oceanside town or somewhere near a ski resort? Your tether to your geographic area has been cut by today's circumstances and your options are unlimited. 

Here's one idea:


Stanford University, which is southwest of Palo Alto and on the southern tip of the San Francisco Bay, has recently announced its Spring Creative Writing session. Classes cover writing adult and children's fiction, poetry and memoirs and there are several on campus, as well as online and flex, which I believe is a hybrid of both. 

You could take a class online, or you could relocate to California for a few months! Why not?

But let this just be a jumping off point. Let your imagination explore all the places you've got on your bucket list. A little Internet searching might uncover a class or a writing conference a thousand miles a way that interests you, or one right in your own back yard. 

Always write! Always learn!
