If one of your 2010 writing resolutions is to share your personal stories, writing coach Chris Kay Fraser has a series of workshops, classes and retreats to get you started.
Flex your writing muscles
Chris’ 8-week Keep Your Pen Moving Workshop brings together beginners, seasoned pros and those who just want to exercise their writing muscles.
Although her Tuesday series is full, the Wednesday session, from 7-9:30 pm, is open to creatives starting January 27.
Monthly meetings for busier schedules
For busier folks who cannot commit to a weekly class but still want to enjoy the group dynamic, Chris also offers her unique Memory Threads group.
With the help of an Inspiration Pack filled with examples, tips, and other colorful inspiration, this monthly group, which meets for Saturday afternoon sessions from January 30 to June 26, has all the tools you'll need to explore your own personal story.
Something for everyone
With a manuscript group, a memoir writing class, and the choice of mail & email-based classes, these inspirational workshops are sure to fuel your creativity and help you to reach your 2010 writing goals.

What a great way to not only get some feedback and motivation as a writer, but also to get out and meet other writers in the workshop. That could lead to lifelong relationships that benefit you as a person and a writer.
I agree - making connections with other writers, especially in person, can benefit you in so many ways. And having others who can relate to your passion for writing is so important - "regular" people sometimes don't get us!
