The Writer’s Perspective - Presented by Shared Vision Publishing There will be an inspiring workshop for writers of all levels on Saturday, October 16, 2010, 9:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. at Willowtail Springs in Mancos, Colorado.
Word Journeys:
Getting your creativity and words rolling with Renee Podunovich
Start the day at lovely Willow Tail Springs with guided imagery, a mini-vision
quest and writing prompts designed to help you settle into your own voice and
the property and to get your creativity flowing. Writing prompts will be paired
with several guided inward journeys followed by a solo outward journey onto the
property. Participants will share their experience and words in small groups and
explore how our writing can elevate our personal experience of things (for
example art) to touch the lives of others in a meaningful way.
Renee Podunovich, MA, is a National Certified counselor and has a private
practice in Cortez, CO. Links to her published work and book of poetry, along
with information about her counseling practice can be found at her website: www.ReneePodunovich.com.

Creative Ways to Invigorate Your Writing with Will Gray
In this workshop focusing on both the art and craft of writing, we will discuss
the importance of the lead, the power of the first person voice, the art of
interviewing, organizing an essay, how to critically self-edit, active vs.
passive voice, sentence variety, and more.
Will Gray was a writer, editor and publisher for 33 years with the National
Geographic Society before taking an early retirement and moving to the Durango
area in 2002. Author of many books and magazine articles, Will was on the
