Become the writer you want to be
You’ve probably heard the classic advice, “Write what you know.” Is that helping you become the writer you want to be?
What if you try writing what you DON’T know?
When you only write what you know, it can be a struggle. The words don’t come out the way they sound in your head. You might think it’s your fault: you’re just not a good writer.
It’s not your fault! We’ve learned, over 20 years of teaching workshops, that everyone (yes, everyone) is capable of writing with originality, authenticity, and emotional power.
That includes YOU.

What We Do
From the Imaginative Storm to the creative form
How can you write what you don’t know?
Have you ever had the feeling, as you were writing, that a wonderful thought just came to you? It felt spontaneous, natural, as if you didn’t have to “think” it up?
Fresh, original writing doesn’t come from your conscious, rational, intentional mind. It comes from your unconscious and just needs to be encouraged to emerge.
The Imaginative Storm method stimulates your imagination, and trains your rational mind to recognize, capture, and shape those creative gifts into writing that will amaze you.
