Writing from The Heart
"Writing from The Heart" is a workshop on creative writing, creative drawing, and creative drama.
There are three available versions of this workshop: one for beginners on the secondary, tertiary, and graduate levels, and another for practitioners.
A third version of this workshop is designed as an outreach program to disadvantaged and underserved audiences such as the disabled, the poor and the marginalized, victims of human trafficking, battered women and abused children, drug rehabilitation center residents, child combatants, children in conflict with the law, prisoners, and gang leaders. This third version incorporates creativity and problem awareness, conflict resolution, crisis intervention, trauma therapy, and peacemaking.

The artist who becomes truly immortal will always be the artist who takes pride in aging.
Write from your heart, never from your producer's or your publisher's cash register.

Every writer has a phenomenological frame of reference, but he/she must consider his audience's general frames of reference at all times. Otherwise he/she will be terribly misunderstood, and, when this occurs, it is always the writer's fault because he/she communicated first.
