Writer's block, an owner's guide: A writer’s block workshop
I’ve written here again and again about the workshop I’ll be leading in May. Here at last is some hard information (maybe not hard for you, but I had to stop procrastinating and write this).
So it’s going to be Wednesday, May 4th at 6pm, in Encino, CA. The cost is $50 ($40 for students). Here’s the official brochure[link removed as outdated]. I apologize for the typos, or is it typo’s.
This workshop, presented by a professional school of psychology, is designed for therapy workers. It’s pretty much the same content I would present to writers, because among therapists here in the Valley I assume the majority are writing something or are thinking about it.
But you’ll be attending a psychology event. This is not a writing class. My work about writing is not about what to write, about structure or about style. My work is about creativity, motivation and flow experience.
For licensed MFTs and CSWs needing continuing education credits, there will be CEUs.
There will be no writing exercises. Leave your notebook at home!

Writer's block, an owner's guide: A writer’s block workshop
I’ve said it before, and before that. And before that. Here, in a web site about writer’s block, I am writing fewer and fewer entries. Friends find it hilarious.
This month’s excuse: All my creativity on this subject is going straight into planning the Encino workshop and I guess that online readers wouldn’t be interested to hear about Workshop Structure or about my ideas for Classroom Demonstrations. Or would you? (strokes beard wonderingly)
Right now I’m at a thrilling time with my vocation. After studying psychology at three universities and grad schools on two continents for seven or eight years (1) I’m about to attempt the last hurdle for the Californian license I hope to practice therapy under (2) I’m approaching the final phase (the research-and-guess-what-yes-it’s-writing! phase) of an American doctoral program at an amazing school where I get to hang out with people who know/knew Alan Watts and Rollo May and Werner Erhard and Irv Yalom and… it’s a blast for a Scottish lad to be anywhere near Sausalito [to do list: write about Anne Lamott] (3) I’m working full time doing something really useful and rewarding in psychology and (4) after some amusing challenges, the Today I Write workshop is finally scheduled to happen at a specific time and place.
Yes; the Today I Write workshop is finally scheduled to happen at a specific time and place. Specifically? At an address in Encino at 6pm on May 4th. Be there or be somewhere else. Prices and all that stuff will be announced later when you are over the first helpless excitement of it all. Buy the Today I Write writer’s t-shirt while you’re waiting!
So that’s my excuse for not writing this month. Anyone buy it?
