You are invited to an Open Mic tomorrow evening for writers in my online American Nature Writing Masterclass.
Everyone in the lineup has two things in common, as singer-songwriter China Kent recently said to me. We are “earth-achers and word nerds.”
Are you an earth-acher and a word nerd?
Then we invite you to join us tomorrow evening for an Open Mic. That’s Wednesday, Dec. 11 at 7 pm Eastern Time.
The China I mentioned above is going to start the Open Mic with a gorgeous piano tune called “I Will Plant a Garden.” It’s brand-new and super-secret. I know about it because she’s in one of my courses, and when this song came to her last week in a moment that felt magical, she sent me a clip of her singing it. I wept through the song. It is incredibly beautiful. There’s a line in the song that says “Advance and Don’t Retreat” and I’ve decided that’s my motto for now.
After China sings, then each writer who’s willing reads for 2-3 minutes from a strong and powerful piece of work. So far only 8 have signed up but I’ll bet that by tomorrow we’ll have a good solid hour of nature writing.
And maybe I’ll read for 3 minutes as well. If there’s time I will.
I hope you come hear these writers. Come for a short time or for the entire event. The Zoom link is below.
