Dear fellow writer,
Whether you’re facing down a summer writing deadline or slogging through a mid-winter slump, I’ll bet you could use some Vitamin C right now: a therapeutic dose of Creativity! Here’s a mid-month booster pack of creative resources guaranteed to light up the right side of your brain.
FREE VIDEO
Every month I dig into the WriteSPACE Special Events archive and pull out a treasure from behind the paywall. This month’s featured video is “Writing Creatively for Work or Study,” a conversation and workshop with creativity expert Dr Helen Kara. You’ll learn all about her 2025 book of the same title, and she’ll guide you through some intellectually engaging creative prompts. Watch the full video here.

The Creativity Catalyst is one of my favorite Catalyst courses: a 6-week exploration of arts-based techniques for infusing “serious” academic or professional writing with creativity, color, and delight. In celebration of our past Creativity Catalyst participants for all they tried, risked, and achieved, we’ve put together this curated public showcase — an ebullient exhibit of their adventures and experiments with creativity. Visit the showcase here.
WRITING MASTERCLASS
If you’re a WriteSPACE Studio member or Creativity Catalyst participant, I hope you’ll join me on Aug 25, 26, or 27 (depending on your time zone) for this lively 90-minute masterclass in which we’ll try out an array of creative approaches to structuring our writing projects, processes, and products. Check your Studio or Catalyst Calendar for the dates, times, and Zoom links.
