"I am trying to check my habits of seeing, to counter them for the sake of greater freshness. I am trying to be unfamiliar with what I'm doing." - John Cage

Dear Creatives,


“You don’t write because you want to say something. You write because you have something to say.” – F Scott Fitzgerald
 

Tangled Roots Writing offers all my workshops, editing, and coaching services online! My mission is to create and support arts and literary community - this mission is what created my business back in 2008, those golden olden days before pandemics when we could hold and hug each other. Now we reach out with our hearts instead of our hands. As I write here, I realize our hands will be reaching out via the page and language and we have something to say that matters. Join me in writing what you have to say.

“There’s a beautiful Inuit word “qarrtsiluni.” It means, “sitting together in the dark, waiting for something to happen.” I’m happy to have that be my new bio.” – Teju Cole


Here's a writing prompt if you want: What word would you choose for your bio today? Look it up in a dictionary, a synonym finder, and research its etymology as well. What have you discovered? Share it in the comments.

Take a look at the new online schedule via Zoom for my workshops. I have a new 6 week Monday night series beginning in April. I am also offering a blogging workshop to be announced soon. 

Please email or call me to connect, to share how you are doing, to chat about literature and creative process. Let me know how I can help you make today a creative and productive process to reaching your writing goals!

Happy writing,

Karen
