The lovely and funny straight shooting Terri Trespicio gave a writing workshop last week using the Gateless method and it was amazing! We started with a brief meditation, she provided a word prompt and then we had 10 minutes to write about her prompt.
I don’t think I’ve ever been that honest before in a 10 minute writing exercise – I may even post it here, if I get brave enough. My favorite thing she said about writing is: as an author, you “are not a word waitress.” You aren’t writing to serve/please everyone else, just you. An amazing concept that is not just about writing, but also about life in general. Love it and based on my (brief) experience, I recommend her method.
