My next online writing Slipper Camp – Love in the Time of Intolerance – will hopefully inspire you to write about love and the audacity of hope. “Hope is a gift you don’t have to surrender,” wrote Rebecca Solnit, “a power you don’t have to throw away.”

Like the woman in the image above, you will be fighting for love and for hope, and your words will be your weapon. Every word you write will raise money for ACLU, RAISES and IRC, organizations that are fighting the horrific injustices at the Southern border.

I hope you will be one of the 10 writers who will receive illustrated prompts about “Love in the Time of Intolerance” every other morning for 20 days, along with coaching suggestions. You will be writing 1,000 words every OTHER DAY and sending them to me by midnight.

I was honored to be interviewed by Connie Martinson about my book, Tears and Tequila.

Tears and Tequila is a story of love, loss, friendship, courage and, most of all, renewal; it tells of the healing that happens when you become part of a community in which everybody is missing someone.

If you’re interested, read more at my Tears and Tequila website.

Due to popular demand, Slipper Camp – Mothers and Daughters – is back. It starts May 31st and ends on June 19th! Many mothers and daughters have taken this Slipper Camp together and loved it.

Hundreds of writers have taken this structured online writing course over the past nine years. They say the combination of structure and accountability has yielded some of their best writing. Novels, screenplays, a play, memoirs and numerous published articles have been generated in Slipper Camps.

I was inspired to create this Slipper Camp when I studied this photo of my mother and me. At three months old I’m already trying to crawl out of her arms. Eager to see the world. Unwilling to be contained. My mother smiles beatifically, unaware of the restless soul in her arms…

We’ll be writing about ourselves, our mothers and/or mother figures, our daughters-biological or chosen – nieces, goddaughters, stepdaughters or any young woman we mentor. We’ll be exploring the relationship between women of different generations.

As always, you can stay home and write in your pjs and slippers. As always, if you enroll you will receive 3 prompts a day (every other day) for 20 days. As always, you will write 1,000 words on a prompt of your choosing and send it to me. Email me for details – lspravina21@gmail.com.

Only open to the first ten writers who sign up.

Begins May 31st and ends June 19th.

I’d like to invite you to my next available Slipper Camp.

The topic: the secrets we carry.

All of us have secrets. In this online writing ‘Slipper Camp’ we will be writing about our secrets, both light and dark, our deepest fears and shames but also our secret strengths. That’s why I love the quote above from Marianne Williamson-that it is our potential and power that frightens us and keeps us small. That perhaps the greatest secret we carry is that of our own magnificence.

It will be the same format: 10 writers will receive 3 illustrated prompts about the secrets we carry every OTHER morning for 20 days along with daily writing tips and coaching suggestions.

Limit: 10 writers
Starts: March 26th ends April 13th
Please let me know if you’re interested in joining us.

Slipper Camp – FREEDOM

Dear Writers,

Every January I start the year with a Slipper Camp topic that’s especially meaningful to me.

FREEDOM 2019 will be my next online writing Slipper Camp (Starts January 8th, ends 20 days later.)

FREEDOM. If you click on the photo below you’ll see what inspired me to create this particular Slipper Camp.

FREEDOM. We’ll be writing at a heightened time, a critical time in our lives and the life of this country and the world. We’ll be writing about freedoms we celebrate; freedoms denied to us or to others; our personal journeys from slavery to freedom or vice versa; times we’ve longed for freedom for ourselves and others; times we’ve fought for freedom and won or lost.

FREEDOM. There’s so much to write about. Especially now.

Slipper Camp will be the same format as always – 10 writers will receive 3 illustrated prompts about FREEDOM every OTHER morning for 20 days along with daily writing tips and coaching suggestions.

You’ll be writing 1,000 words (2 pages) on 1 of the 3 daily prompts and sending them to me by midnight every OTHER day. Whenever I get your words I’ll read them. At the end of Slipper Camp we’ll set a one-hour call to talk about your writings.

Hundreds of writers have taken this structured online writing course over the past 9 years. They say the combination of structure and accountability has yielded some of their best writing. Books, screenplays, a play, two novels, memoirs and numerous published articles have been generated in Slipper Camps.

Please join us. I’d love to read your words.

Limited to 10 writers. PS. Slipper Camp fills up in a heartbeat so please jump in if this speaks to you. THANK YOU!

My next online writing Slipper Camp – Wild Card – begins on December 4th (through December 22nd).

Slipper Camp Wild Card: the prompts will be on various topics and deliciously surprising each day. As always, it’s only open to the first ten writers who sign up. As always, you can stay home and write in your pjs and slippers. As always, if you enroll you will receive 3 prompts a day (every other day) for 20 days. As always, you will write 1,000 words on a prompt of your choosing and send it to me. Please join us. You can email me for details at pravina@aol.com.

When Forgiveness Requires Patience is a terrific piece by my friend and fellow author on grief, Elaine Mansfield, about dealing with crazy-making relatives. I interviewed Elaine about grief after writing “Tears and Tequila” and we discovered we are soul sisters. Deep and honest truths here from a gorgeous writer.
