Thursday Lunch & Write
Join me? 12-1 EST
Hi Friends,
and I have a little something new going on over at The Practice of Writing (TPOW). We considered our first foray, a 6 week Flash writing series, a success, so we are bringing you more opportunities to write and learn with us.I’ve got an 8 week session of Thursday Lunch & Write coming up on Thursdays at Noon (EST). I’ll deliver a mini craft lecture with a curated reading, followed by a writing prompt where you can dive into your imagination on your lunch break and come out of the hour with something to show for your time.
For my friends in the UK, we can call it Dinner & Write, Brekkie & Write for those in California, and Snack & Write for everyone else :)
All writing levels are welcome. I’d love to see you there.
Ciao, n
ps. Here’s a promo code that works for all of these— THURSDAYSHALF
pps. I’ll close registration at 11:30, so you can be last minute but not totally last minute. I know how we writers operate.
🌸 Nina Barufaldi knows her name can be a mouthful, so she prefers to be just plain Nina or Nina from Maine—like the friend sitting next to you on a swing at the playground, sharing ideas and stories. Nina holds an MFA in creative writing, was longlisted for the American Short(er) Story Prize in 2021 and the First Pages Prize for non-fiction in 2023, and was recently accepted into the Chateau D’Orquevaux Artist Residency in France. A multi-genre writer, Nina finds that in fiction and non-fiction, she’s often obscuring or skirting the truth—or downright lying. But poetry? Poetry is where she goes to confront the truths her other writing hides. This delicate volley between truth and storytelling is something she brings into her teaching, guiding students to explore the blurred lines of their own creative process.
