Morning – May 6th

Grateful for the rain

for the blessings pouring on my window panes

for windows to view the outdoor world

the green lushness of grasses, flowers and trees

birds singing and nesting

the art of natures rhythm and melodic sounds fill the air

and all at once announce, “spring is here!”

Called to Write in the AWA method

Learning more about the Amherst Writers and Artists Method.

via Welcome Writers — Called to Write

For those who are unfamiliar with the Amherst Writers & Artists (AWA) method, let me share the following.

The AWA Method is based in the following philosophy.

These affirmations rest on a definition of personhood based in equality, and a definition of writing as an art form available to all persons.

  • Everyone has a strong, unique voice.
  • Everyone is born with creative genius.
  • Writing as an art form belongs to all people, regardless of economic class or educational level.
  • The teaching of craft can be done without damage to a writers original voice or artistic self-esteem.
  • A writer is someone who writes.
