Making an Artful Life
Crystal Oliver
We’ll begin the week considering the artful commitment to a writer’s life, exploring the power of curiosity, trusting your voice and vision, and cultivating a personal “algorithm’ for creative fulfillment. Find and focus on what inspires you, keep a notebook, embrace your passions (even Stevie Nicks!), and prepare to make your time at this conference—and your writing—truly transformative.
