HOW TO WRITE COMPLEX EMOTION IS BACK!

This Masterclass takes a lot out of me, which is why I only offer it once or twice a year.

The nature of this work requires a specific environment - that's why I limit each workshop to just ten people over the two-day, 4-hour intensive.

When I do open enrollment, these spots tend to fill quickly. So, if you've been waiting for me to open this course back up, now's the time to secure your place.

DATES:

First day: Saturday, April 26, 10 a.m.-12 p.m. EST

Second day: Sunday, April 27, 10 a.m.-12 p.m. EST

ON ZOOM.

Workshop Description:

Saying the Unsayable: How to Write Complex Emotion

Feelings are hard to describe, let alone write about.

Most writers rely on the external to suggest emotion. To signal loss, they might describe a bereft father watching a man swing his young daughter on the beach. We feel the ache through subtext. The more specific the details, the more we sense the absence. In literature, what's visible often stands in for what's missing.

But what if you want to go deeper? What if your goal isn't just to hint at emotion but to embody it on the page so the reader feels it inside their body?

Most writing classes teach you how to read, think, and interpret. This class teaches you how to feel, recognize, and describe what's emotionally true. We'll draw from somatic experiencing therapy and my lifetime of existing with an undiagnosed panic disorder to help you access your internal landscape and translate raw bodily sensations into precise, resonant language.

We'll explore how emotion lives in muscle tension, breath, temperature, and nervous system responses—and how to convert those sensations into writing that transmits feeling rather than merely describing it. These tools are rarely taught in craft classes, drawn as they are from somatic and experiential practices that help people name their feelings when language fails them.

By the end of this course, you'll have a new set of tools—not just to elevate your prose but to make emotional truth vibrate on the page and inside your readers.

This is writing from inside emotions. And it changes everything.
