WRITING WORKSHOPS
Announcing Musing on the Writing Life and Writing for Healing
on Substack
Writing for Healing is a column on Substack under Wendy Brown-Baez.
Musing on the Writing Life is free and appears on Friday. If you subscribe, it will land in your inbox. I muse on the craft of writing, share thoughts about the writing life and my writing career, and thoughts about popular culture as it connects with writing. I offer tips, advice, and resources. I discuss writing in community and writing as art. I give both practical advice and meandering thoughts and share my own work. Most of all, I encourage you to write even when it's hard or when the world is in crisis.
At this time, each post ends with a prompt.
Some prompts will migrate to Writing for Healing.
Writing for Healing is a tool for self-awareness and self-compassion. It is a way to access your intuition and inner guidance. I have presented writing for healing workshops in community spaces for 20 years and offer my insights on how writing can heal and transform lives. This section of my Substack is a way to create a weekly practice and comes out on Mondays. We begin with mindfulness and breathing to calm our nervous systems. Not only do you receive writing prompts and ideas, but I read every comment and respond with care and support. It is not about developing writing skills but developing attentiveness and care for your heart and soul.
A paid subscription supports my work and enables you to enter the portal of writing prompts and to participate in the chat.
Thank you and see you there!
