Ask what makes you come alive, and go do it.
Because what the world needs
is people who have come alive."

Testimonials:
"Forgive me for fawning, but writing for the writing club has turned out to be one of the nicest treats I give myself. Deadlines are apparently The Key for me so I wish there was a "Playwriting Club" where every week a new chapter, scene, etc would have to be forthcoming. With of course some muse inspired prompt!" ~Cheri
|

You get:
Two original Badonsky writing prompts weekly on Mondays (deadline Thurs) and Fridays (deadline Sunday), your work published in The Muse is IN Writing Newsletter, writing club tips, the inspiration of a being in a group of writers, the motivation to WRITE because you've invested in yourself.. AND a collection of the pieces you WRITE. Less money than one movie! You're worth it.
"Your fun prompts have the same effect as shaking a bottle of champagne...I get all fizzed up and the words just burst out." Thank you! ~K
"Your prompts release the writing like sap from a maple tree in spring. So much sweetness." ~ Linda

To find out where Muse Classes are taking place or to schedule Jill for your group, please email info@themuseisin.com .
"Jill,
I have taken a lot of the Amherst Writers [classes] and did not
find it as useful as your suggestions, exercises, and the solid
concept, for me, of each muse. As I said, I use every one of them
for different ways to write and teach. Thanks for your ingenuity
and thanks for initiating this group so we can nourish each other
as well."
