Self-Care for the Creative Soul:

How to Create a Mindfulness Practice to Support Your Writer Self

If you’ve ever dreaded facing the page, struggled with critical self-talk, writer’s block, or procrastination, you know there’s more to the writing process than getting words on the page. Learning to tune into the rhythms, flow, and habits of our unique process through mindful practices can help us avoid burnout and navigate the emotional challenges of embodying our creative self.

Bring your journal and join me for this interactive workshop where we will cultivate an awareness and appreciation of what fuels our creative souls through:

  • journaling,
  • meditation, and
  • mindful breathwork.

We’ll use exercises and prompts designed to discover and clarify what your creativity needs most for a sense of peace, connection, and ease. You’ll return to your writing refreshed and restored, with a list of strategies and resources to support you in bringing your most authentic self to the page.

 

Attending Our Hybrid Meeting

Presentation is free for members and prospective members who have not yet visited for two complimentary meetings.

We encourage you to be in person if you can! This speaker will be at the library, ready to help us develop a practice to keep  us healthy and creative as we write.

For those members who cannot join us in person, join us via Zoom. The password will be posted in the Central Ohio Fiction Writers Google Group, and on the Central Ohio Fiction Writers Facebook page.

If you are not a COFW member and wish to attend this presentation via Zoom, email cofwpresident@gmail.com.

About Our SpeakerBeth Morrow is a white woman with brown hair. She's wearing a purple top with white sleeves, and clasping her hands in namaste.

Beth Morrow, M.Ed., is a teacher and author who loves to explore the intersection of meditation and an embodied creative life. Her journey to mindfulness teaching began with learning yoga through videos then joining a studio for deeper study. Introduced to Zen meditation through a workshop, the profound spiritual and emotional healing she experienced lingered for over a decade and led her to earning a yoga teaching certification. Longing to return to meditation for healing after her husband’s death, the lack of meditation opportunities around her prompted her to leave the middle school classroom and become a meditation teacher herself. 

She has since studied yoga nidra, Taiji, (Tai Chi), and reiki, and is completing work for her 500-hour meditation certification from the Radiance Sutras School of Meditation.

Beth currently teaches meditation and restorative and yin yoga in venues in Columbus, Ohio. Creating safe, comfortable spaces that invite students to slow down and relax into the innate wisdom of the self through the breath is what she loves most.

Scenes & Sequels

This Session

Goal, motivation, and conflict aren’t enough. Great storytelling includes characters who battle and triumph—a dynamic mix of internal and external conflicts to reach their ultimate goal.

But unputdownable fiction is more than a GMC chart. How your character reacts to each challenge creates a three-dimensional persona whose fictional journey communicates a message of our human existence that resonates through a wide cross-section of readers.

Join USA Today Bestselling Author Siera London as she explores scene and sequel structure in popular fiction.

About Our Speaker

Jen Devon is a white woman with long brown hair. She wears glasses as wide as her face, and is wearing an off-white sweater.

I’m Jen. I’m a former ecology academic turned professional photographer turned software support pro moonlighting as an author. I’m a lifelong lover of scary movies and romance novels, both of which I was probably first exposed to far too young. But the pre-teen heart wants what it wants, and my angsty little Xennial heart wanted terror and lusty pining. I think Ripley and Hicks should have kissed, Ben Solo deserved better, and Disney should’ve given Elsa a girlfriend.

I love: campfires, Hot Tamales, sour cream as a French fry condiment, the smell of used bookstores, World of Warcraft, single-origin coffee, my 85mm f/1.8G camera lens, public radio, Hefeweizen, slipper socks, boardgames, marching bands, hiking, traveling with my family, fun hats, and people who don’t take themselves too seriously.

I’m married to a hot nerd who I met on the Internet, and now twenty years later we’re raising three bright, feminist, kick-ass kids. We also have two ill-mannered rescue mutts – I’d have a whole pack of them (dogs, not kids) if I could, but there’s only so much room on the bed, you know?

I’m an adult-diagnosed ADHD’er, an outgoing introvert and occasional foulmouth (apologies to my mom, my dad, my kids’ teachers, and the hosts of any panels or podcasts I’m a guest on), a Gandalf stan, thrift store enthusiast, nonsense repudiator, kindness evangelist, and unapologetic dirt-lover. I think the world would be a better place if everyone read romance novels.

Real-Time Brainstorming Your Novel

This session

Come with your book ideas, and get ready to brainstorm in small-group sessions. Each person has a turn to share where they could use group help brainstorming anything. Are you stuck figuring out a beat in your romance arc? Trying to figure out your characters’ wound? Wondering what moment will drive our two lovers apart, and what will bring them together? Maybe trying to figure out something about their backstory, or situations to throw them into? Which tropes to use? Or maybe it’s the premise itself you’d like help on. What you talk about in your small group is up to you!

What’s said and done in brainstorming stays in brainstorming. This is a safe space to work yourself out of whatever plot hole has stalled you. Members have used these sessions to make great progress on their novels, some of which are currently published!

If you have ever joined us on one of the “Plotting Groups,” monthly sessions, this is the same concept. For those unfamiliar, read on.

To prepare your group to assist you:
  • Be prepared to give us background on your premise and the place you’re blocked.
  • Be prepared for us to ask additional questions to gain the context we might need to help you.
Bring what you need:
  • Whatever you use, bring it with you:
    • Pen and paper?
    • Laptop?
    • Posterboard for mind-mapping?
    • Post-it Notes?
    • Notecards?
  • An enquiring mind! Take the ideas in the spirit they are meant, to help unblock you.
Get to work!

Assuming we can break into groups of 4, each member will have approximately 15 minutes to work on the issue or issues they’d like to brainstorm.

Members who are on Zoom, you will be plotting in your own “room” that we will set up. If we have enough members, we will have more than one room. In person, we will break into small groups.

Attending Our Hybrid Meeting

Brainstorming session is free for members and prospective members who have not yet visited for two complimentary meetings. For those members who cannot join us in person, join us via Zoom.
