Trancewriting: Using Hypnosis to Write with Jenny Bitner - In Person Saturday Sept 21st
In this unique workshop, you will explore the fascinating fusion of hypnosis and creative writing. Through guided hypnotic sessions, you will transform your writing process. In this three-hour workshop, you will: create a mental place you can revisit whenever you write, enhancing focus and creativity; learn to experience automatic writing, a state of flow where ideas and words come effortlessly, bypassing the conscious mind; and enter a hypnotic state to meet and converse with your characters, gaining deeper insights into their personalities and motivations. Jenny, a certified hypnotherapist, has developed these innovative techniques to help writers tap into their subconscious mind and unlock new levels of creativity and productivity. Join us to discover how trance writing can deepen your connection to writing. Saturday, Sept. 21st, from 12:00pm - 3:00pm PT

New Fabulism: Stories Beyond the Ordinary with Jenny Bitner
Branching out from the roots of magical realism, horror, and fantasy, fabulist writing—exemplified by authors like Carmen Maria Machado, and Kelly Link—has captivated today's literary imagination. Speculative fiction, slipstream, fabulist—there are many names for writing that blends the imaginary and the real, giving equal weight to ghosts and relationship problems. But why is it that the stranger and the weirder the tale, the more it resonates with us on a deeply personal level? Could it be because we are not rational creatures? Tuesdays, Oct. 22nd - Dec. 3rd

Writing a Sex Scene: The Good, The Bad, & The Ugly with Jenny Bitner
​
SATURDAYS, Nov. 9th - 23rd | Does writing sex scenes make you nervous? Sex in books can be awkward - in fact, it's the awkward, the unusual, the failed sex that is often the most powerful writing. But writing sex shouldn't be awkward. Some writers like the "fade to black" approach to sex, while others like writing about it in the broad daylight.
