“The Right Life is the Write Life” In-Person
Jim Flaherty believes The Right Life is The Write Life.
And he knows you may have a book inside of you, or just want to write better notes to your grandchildren, your parents, your friends. He understands Writer’s Block. He does not believe you can’t write. He also knows nothing will make you happier than putting something down on a page and realize, “Hey, it’s pretty good.”
Jim is a busy gent. By the time we start this class, he’ll be 90—“Going on 50” he says. Besides being a MadMan in NY (and Argentina), writing & creative directing successful advertising campaigns, one day, wasn’t part of a plan he says, he bought an abandoned stack of stone in Amenia, and created Troutbeck. He’s also found time to write five books (with nary one word of AI), and hops around the country giving speeches and workshops about aging cheerfully and productively.
Jim, a devoted friend to the Hotchkiss Library in Sharon, is offering a seven-week writer workshop, meeting once a week for 1.5 hours. It will be fun. He will make you create. He promises you will be a better writer.
