It’s More Than Just Cringe…
What started back in 2018 with adults reading from their middle school diaries in a cozy café has evolved into an annual stage event at one of the premier performance venues in New Jersey. We’re talking about CringeFest, of course! Project Write Now’s biggest fundraiser and (we believe) the most hilarious storytelling night of the year.
Success Stories
We are thrilled to share the recent success stories of our writing community!
Burn It: Writing Just For You
In a somewhat recent therapy session, I told my therapist about poetry I had written to help process a personal friendship ending. We brought up how writing can be used as a tool for closure, for healing, for dealing with complex emotions. As someone who teaches writing for a living, this wasn’t news to me. I’ve long advocated for writing’s healing power with other writers. Of course writing can be therapeutic. That’s what made me turn to it.
Laugh Tracks: What Comedy Can Teach Us About Writing
Sometime during the last few years, I’ve become obsessed with comedy. Maybe it’s the aftermath of the pandemic, or aging, or having kids that are leaving the nest, or just a way of processing the world—but I’ve come to crave shows, essays, podcasts and movies that make me laugh. Shows like Ted Lasso, Shrinking, Mike Birbiglia’s The Old Man and the Pool and Nick Kroll’s Little Big Boy. All of these have made me laugh. But, when I take a step back and look at common threads among types of comedy I most enjoy, I notice a trend. I’m not only laughing, I’m also sometimes crying.
