Drenched in Lightning Bugs

The difference between the right word and the almost right word is the difference between lightning and a lightning bug. ~Mark Twain

If you're on Facebook, consider clicking over & becoming a "fan" of our erstwhile dream factory.

Thinking of taking a winter workshop? There's still time to register!

One must be drenched in words, literally soaked in them, to have the right ones form themselves into the proper pattern at the right moment. ~Hart Crane


Classes begin Jan. 25th, and feature a full range of workshops, from beginning right up to advanced. Be sure to check out our newest classes: Visiting Authors, which meets each Friday night before readings at the DWC, from Jan. 29 thru March 6. And don't miss out on Silence in the Snowy Fields: Writing About Weather & Place with Nate Pritts. We have to live here . . . we might as well write about it.

Stay tuned for more faculty spotlights, book reviews and writing prompts.

Write more. Write better. Write here. Write now.
