I am a much better writer (not to mention critical reader!) as a result of her teaching\, and I would absolutely recommend her to any writer who’s seeking to take their work and creative journey to the next level.” —Nik Chang Hoon \n“Nicole is an exceptional teacher whose superpower is nurturing her students’ creativity\, empowering their growth\, and building community. Through craft talks\, readings\, writing prompts\, and insightful comments\, she supports each student in finding their stories and bringing them to life.” —Enid K. \n“Nicole’s class was one of the first I took after spending more than 10 years away from creative writing. I felt like she opened this whole world up to me by sharing her expertise not only on the craft of writing but also on the business of publishing. The lessons I learned in her class have paid immense dividends for me—I would not have the writing community and career that I have today without learning from her example. I consider Nicole a role model for her generosity toward her students and fellow writers in general\, and I couldn’t recommend her classes more enthusiastically!” —Hannah Bae \n“Nicole’s class is terrific for both novices to the genre and experienced writers. She creates an ideal mix of workshops\, craft lectures\, and guest speakers that teaches students new skills and keeps them inspired about their own work. Nicole is also warm\, supportive\, and brings out the best in her students. She curates a supportive cohort of students who strive to bring out the best in each other. I am grateful to have had the opportunity to participate!” —Anne Kim \n“It was truly a life-changing experience getting the opportunity to learn about memoir writing under the guidance of Nicole Chung. She was so thoughtful and generous with her enlightening ideas and exercises\, as well as feedback on my writing. The boundless empathy and encouragement she showed her students brought us all closer together as a cohort\, where we felt free to truly express ourselves and grow as writers and people in the process. I highly recommend Nicole’s workshops to anyone looking to evolve in their writing craft.” —Jean Trinh \n“I feel very fortunate to have taken Nicole’s memoir class. She offers the perfect blend of workshopping opportunities\, craft discussions\, and guest author/agent appearances\, all while coaching\, cheering\, and nudging participants along in a low-key but highly effective manner. Perhaps what I appreciate most about Nicole is the great care she takes with each participant’s story. Her class has been transformational for my writing.” —Ruth Berg \n“Nicole is a thoughtful and skilled facilitator. I love that she uses a clear and consistent strengths-based philosophy. Working from strengths creates an environment of safety for memoirists to share\, critique\, and revise our most personal stories. In our memoir workshop\, Nicole facilitates skillfully to bring out the shared wisdom of the group and ensure that writers feel empowered to generate and revise our work. Highly recommend working with her if you have the chance!” —Alex Shevrin Venet \n\nAbout Book Farm @ The Writer’s Center\nThe Writer’s Center hosts a series of workshops for serious writers to complete book-length projects\, generate new work for publication\, or master the elements of craft within a specific genre.

SUMMARY:Writing Practices for Busy Minds
DESCRIPTION:Traditional writing advice doesn’t work for every writer. Created with neurodivergent writers in mind\, this workshop is also for anyone whose writing process is shaped by a busy mind\, limited time or energy\, or the competing demands of everyday life. If you think in loops and layers\, struggle with focus\, overwhelm\, or organizing ideas\, or find yourself caught between bursts of inspiration and periods of resistance\, you’re not alone. Drawing from lived experience and years of teaching writers\, we’ll explore writing practices that honor the way different minds create. You’ll learn to recognize your unique attention patterns\, work with rather than against your creative process\, and develop strategies for navigating common challenges such as idea overwhelm\, perfectionism\, non-linear thinking\, executive dysfunction\, and wavering motivation. You’ll leave with practical techniques to support each phase of the writing process—from prewriting and drafting to revisin —in ways that are flexible and sustainable. Whether you’re navigating ADHD or another form of neurodivergence\, living with chronic illness\, balancing caregiving responsibilities\, experiencing burnout\, or simply finding that traditional writing advice doesn’t fit your life\, this workshop offers adaptable tools that help you build a writing practice that works with your mind and circumstances\, not against them.
