Diva Creative Writing Workshop 2021

2 Comments

My Creative Writing Class is like no other! Sparkling repartee! Writing Prompts created to lead us deep into our soul! Tranformative and Hilarious Reading Assignments! Martini Zoom Time with Writing Tips! And finally a TRANSFORMATION story we can call our own!

And at the end of six weeks you can opt to publish your finished story in my next book of collected essays, Distinguished Divas!

And why choose me as your writing teacher? I believe all of life is made up of the stories we tell ourselves, so why not make it a story about empowerment, rising from the ashes, and honoring our souls while making the world laugh? Three years ago, my life imploded when I lost my father to cancer, my marriage to infidelity and addiction, and my best friend to suicide. It took a long time, but I was able to rise out of my searing bone-burning grief with hope, humor, and chutzpah, and I want to share the things I discovered along the way with you. Oh and I also have writing degrees from UCLA, Harvard, and Stanford and I’ve published three books and written for numerous publications. Ta-Da!

Best of all, I believe in YOU. The world needs your story of taking your power and unleashing it into the world like a golden waterfall of light!!! Be bold!! Take up space! ! Let’s do this!!

For six glorious weeks, April 12- May 17, 2021 we will create something magnificent together. You can register right here on marcidarling.com–just click on the button below to register!

Marci Darling

I lie here on my pink puffy bed in my pink silky pajamas, or pink flannel depending on my mood (the only thing you can bank on is that there will be chocolate smeared somewhere on my attire), with my pink feathered pen, writing my most delicious daydreams. Funny? Sometimes. Scandalous? Hopefully. Inspiring? Perhaps. Full of love? Always.

Welcome to my World.

    Chuck E. Weiss has fallen into the Big Sleep

    Hours

    A few minutes later, I heard the sound of a saxophone and finger-snapping and saw the crowd of sweaty bodies parting to make way for two vastly different oddballs: a tall wild-haired saxophone player named Spyder Mittleman, and the very short Chuck E., who was hunched over, snapping his fingers like a Beatnik in a dark seedy poetry bar who has just heard “Howl” for the first time. They both wore sunglasses, and they took their time sauntering through the crowd, whipping them into a frenzy before they climbed onto the stage and launched into their witty-Louis Prima-New Orleans-style-rockabilly-blues. I slid off my barstool and started to dance and didn’t finish until they played their very last song, Goddamn Liar. Chuck E. would stand onstage, smoking his cigarette, wearing his sunglasses, and every time the band would pause, he would say, “Goddamn Liar.” Then he would usually shout, “Get the hell out of my gas station!” and exit the stage to exuberant screaming and applause.
    As I drove home that night in my bug, my ear drums muted from the loud music, I rolled down my windows so that the warm gardenia-scented air could cool the glistening sweat off my arms. I thought my co-server was right: Chuck E. was God, and if not “the” God, he was “a” god, an insanely talented, mischievous version of Dionysus, reigning over Monday nights in Hollywood.

  • Anteater Deja Vu

    Hours

    I had the strongest deja vu today! I was sitting on the back driveway with Annabelle and Henry and our 3-year-old neighbor, Maggie, and her 5-year-old brother, George, and their fabulous mother, Allison. George had been howling because he scraped his knee, and in an effort to redirect his attention, I mentioned the first thing that popped into my head. “George, have you seen the anteater at the zoo?” I know he loves animals. He stopped howling and stared at…

  • Letter to Times Picayune

    Hours

    Letter to Times Picayune   As my daughter just entered Kindergarten in New Orleans, I recently took a tour of several schools in the area. I was appalled! Most of the schools I toured were upscale private schools, the best education New Orleans has to offer, and yet unhealthy environments for young children. The kindergartens were full of plastic clutter, sugary foods, and media. The teachers showed me the “worksheets” the children would be doing for homework during the year….

  • Body Painting by Picasso and a Mercurial Girl

    Hours

    I have found that Henry is Picasso with food. For example, I gave him yogurt today and he promptly painted the table with it, then his belly, legs and arms, and then the floor. He got it nice and goopy and then squished his bare feet in it and tried to ice skate. Later, he tried to shove his stuffed bear’s face into his macaroni and cheese, covering its fur in slime. I took the bear away and washed it…

  • Another Day in Paradise

    Hours

    Well, well, well, I was sitting in the car in the parking lot at the beach, trying to open Annabelle’s squeezy yogurt. I spent about five minutes trying to open it like a lady, ripping it with my fingers. I was now resorting to trying to open it like an animal, sinking my teeth into it and tearing, but no, it wasn’t budging. As I was sitting there, I felt something hit me in the back of the head, then…
