Anne Lamott once famously remarked, “How to write: Butt in Chair. Start each day anywhere. Let yourself do it badly. Just take one passage at a time. Get butt back in chair.”
Anne’s wisdom is profoundly relevant to any creative endeavor: If we want to see creative results, we need to be present where creativity finds its genesis.
Offered on Wednesday, March 5th, the day before our Awakenings 2025 National Gathering in Falls Church, Virginia, Why Write is an all-day dialogical workshop about the possibilities and challenges of writing in this cultural moment.
Keynotes from publishers, editors, and authors from across the Christian publishing industry will discuss the reality and hope simultaneously found present in work as a published writer today.
Your empty chair is awaiting, and your voice is needed! Join us!
