Gutsy Gals Write Mental Health - Join Janine

4-weeks (October 25, November 1, 8, 15)

Sundays 3-4:15 PST / 6-7:15 ET On Zoom

Overview

In just 4 fast-paced weeks you will leave with a dog-eared journal, story, essay, chapter or even preparation to tell your story on a podcast. Getting a mental health story on the page will be difficult, but I’ll guide you with prompts that take you in surprising directions, and never lead to overwhelm. I'll help you dive deep into the minds of your "narrator" (you) as you get down the facts of your story. We’ll then deepen the emotional landscape of your piece, weaving in dialogue, vibrant scenes and lush settings. Last, you will reconsider your past with earned wisdom.

What's a mental health story? It may be a mental health crisis moment. It may be about living with a mental illness. It may take place during a treatment program. Or it may be a life transition--divorce, loss, grief. Maybe you're writing about a loved one. Or you are/were a caretaker. There are no content rules, but the story should feel like a secret you need to get down on the page. You'll know you're on the path because you should feel a bit lighter once it's underway.
