I Will Write for You. I Will Sing for You.
An invitation to a nature writing open mic.
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.
