The essence of Kitchen Table Writing is to allow the pen to guide. Let whatever comes out of your hand, your pen, hit the page. Kitchen Table Writing is meditative, a time for praise, anger, delight; a time to begin your next chapter, develop a character, sort out a challenge, or describe the tree outside your window. Free your writing spirit and let what needs to come through your subconscious erupt on the page.
One Soup Kitchen Writer described this kind of writing as a time to “get clear.”
A CIPA member, surprised at what he had written, exclaimed,
"It's the pen's fault!"

Anne Randolph is gifted like a wizard when she has a pen in her hand... and better yet - her students are able to produce 'words of art' because of her guidance! It's hard to find words for her workshops... brilliant, motivating, uplifting, inspiring... much like describing Anne herself! Attend a class and bring all of your friends - and don't forget that her famous soup is included!" Rhoda Spellman Award Winning Author of 'The Journey, Home from Autism'
"I
look forward to working with Anne at each Santa Fe Screenwriting conference,

I love the writing class. What a great group of woman... Their stories fill my heart, awaken my soul and push me forward.. Thank you for gifting this wonderful time. When I go to write, in my mind's eye, your garden is there..
The flowers, the birds singing, the bee's buzzing around.
Your kitchen filled with goodies and fresh coffee or tea...
The table covered with all our ideas..
Our hopes and dreams, remembrances of another times and spaces.. know that you are safe place to do our work....

never knowing exactly what will manifest itself on the page!"

The WriteYourLifeStory group presented ME! at our 1st Book Lover's Salon.
What an evening. How wonderful for my writing to be listened to, appreciated, admired.
I am euphoric! A warm and receptive audience of over 25 folks listened to the opening of the 1st three chapters of my novel, THE SWEET NOT ENOUGH.
What a privilege to have wonderful, supportive friends. Thanks for listening and laughing and crying and for being with us. blog.SoupKitchenWriting.com
LOVED the workshop in Englewood! I've been in Texas the last week and did quite a bit of long hand writing, something I have never done before your workshop. It brought a creative flow!

I spent last weekend in Denver at an independent publisher conference. Though I was a speaker, I had an opportunity to sit in on a two hour writing seminar lead by Anne Randolph, an excellent writing coach. blog.SoupKitchenWriting.com
Anne led us through three exercises and the first was to write for five minutes starting with the word "unfamiliar." Eric Kampmann, President www.MidpointTradeBooks.com
The comments from Eric K spotlighting your skills and workshops were well deserved. Good for you!
