Dear Jeannine, I told a story yesterday at Melissa Greenwood's writing group about my very first class with you and Melissa asked, "Have you ever told Jeannine this story?" I was pretty sure I had but just in case:
You were teaching from your cabin where you had arrived by kayak or canoe! You talked about writing hard stuff using concrete details like the madonna statue on your mother's dresser in the incest scene. I was blown away by this concept and when the class was over, I walked into the living room and declared, "I have just found my teacher!"
Hi, I signed up with a paid subscription but I seem to be missing out. I wanted to participate in the Writing for Pleasure Intensive. But don't know or am not getting the links for some of the paid subscription perks. Now, Power of Place intrigues me so would like to get this figured out so I can get all the benefits of your teachings and writings!! Thank you for any help you can provide.
Hi, Beth--sorry you're having trouble! I know from the fact that you are commenting on this post that you do have access to the paid portions of posts, because we restrict comments to paid subscribers in order to keep the community safe, friendly, and troll free. Try this link to the Pleasure intensive and see if you can see all the posts and exercises and comments? Then, check to see that you have your Substack settings set to *receive emails* from WITD, not just via the app. You *can* just use the app, but it's much easier to miss posts and harder to find them when you do. If you don't know how to check/change your settings, Substack help can help you! Here's the link to the pleasure posts--note that they are in reverse order, newest to oldest, and, the sixth and final pleasure intensive post goes out tomorrow! https://writinginthedark.substack.com/t/toward-pleasure
