Using Writing to Enhance Your Sex Life
Sat, Jan 18, 2014 at 5pm
- 18+
This workshop focuses on how to use writing as a way to explore, analyze and pinpoint sexual expression, desire and fantasies. From blog posts on gender identity to fantastical erotica to sensual love letters exchanged between partners, writing allows people to explore sex and sexuality in safe, unique, fluid ways, with a depth and personal reflection that conversations don’t always allow. In the workshop, we will discuss various types of easy, effective writing styles, words and phrases to use when you don’t want to sound cliche or cheesy and scenarios in which writing could be used to better your sex life. Everyone will leave the workshop with a small written piece to take home.
When: 5PM to 6:30PM
Cost: $20, $15 in advance.
(No other CSPC discounts or AYCE cards applicable.)
About the Educator:
A sexpert with a law degree, Lauren Marie Fleming (a.k.a. Queerie Bradshaw to most of the Internet) blogs, podcasts and does videos about sex, sexuality, gender and gender identity at QueerieBradshaw.com, a site for frisky feminists and politiqueers. She also runs CreativitySquared.com where she offers online classes for writers and digital publishing tips. Along with running websites of her own, Lauren works as a consultant providing left-brain solutions to right-brain people and projects. Lauren particularly loves helping women, queers, people of color and other members of minority groups find, and most importantly amplify, their voice, and find ways to make a profit by doing what they love. She frequently speaks at conferences and colleges, and teaches workshops regularly across the country. Lauren is currently shopping her memoir Losing It: My Life as a Sex Blogger based on her popular Curve magazine sex blog. She is represented by Jane Dystel of DGLM. Lauren loves to meet new people, so she encourages others to approach her at any time through Twitter (@LaurenMF and @QueerieBradshaw), Facebook or in person at an event.
