Susan Palmer's Exquisite Now

Come join me for a fun afternoon of writing practice in two weeks. Like the great music and art masters, we’ll be building muscle memory and training the brain. But this isn’t like practicing scales or mastering vanishing points. This is being surprised, then delighted, by where your creativity carries you.

I like using the consummate musician Jon Batiste as exhibit A for the unexpected wonders of practice. His performance last summer in Eugene featured Beethoven’s Moonlight Sonata. Batiste morphed it from 19th century classical into 21st century jazz. His practice frees him to play, and make any genre uniquely his.

Writers at any stage will benefit from the techniques we’ll play with and there are still some open slots in the class. So bring your favorite writing tools and join us. Register at the link below.
