31 Things | New Workshop With Me Through Big Picture Classes
Tags:
I'm excited to announce a new 4-week online workshop I'll be teaching at Big Picture classes in May & June: 31 Things.
Over the course of 31 days, from May 17th through June 16th, you'll receive a daily email that prompts you to document one story from your everyday life. Each email will include a specific word/theme for the day, a detailed writing prompt with suggestions on how to tell the story, and a photo prompt.
31 Thingsis about capturing life right now but will be much more in-depth on a single daily subject than the documentation you might be used to with projects like Week in the Life or Project Life. This workshop is an opportunity to get specific pieces of your story told with the simple goal of telling more.
Class includes:
Supply list with live links to product resources
Access to a pre-classroom, available immediately upon registration for class
Handout and supporting materials that include full color step-by-step album instructions and everything you need to be ready to go on the first day of class
Daily emails that include a specific theme for the day, a writing prompt (with supporting information) and a photo prompt
Downloadable layered templates (Photoshop) and journaling templates (Photoshop and Word)
Printable elements to create a hybrid/printed album
Message board to share your thoughts with your classmates
Private posting gallery to share your work and view the work of your classmates
One live chat with Ali Edwards
Cost of the class is $31.
Read more details, listen to an audio introduction and register here.
Upon registering you'll have immediate access to a pre-classroom which includes a 50 minute presentation/overview of the class and project, the printables & digital downloads, etc. I want you to be all ready to go for that first daily email on May 17th.

A perfect class for those of us who journal or write a lot, and that's me. Thank you so much for the simplicity of the product use and the depth of the writing we will do. I signed up for this class, listened to your detailed audio/video portion, and danced around my scraproom! Can't wait, Ali!

can't wait to start '31'. I have a yosemite vacation during this time so the everyday story will be interesting, along with time to get it on paper. fun all the way around.

Ali, the class sounds great, but I was wondering if you could hive us an idea of what you mean by a daily word/theme. You mean like love, food, etc?
Replies
Yes. They are simple topics that could a variety of different stories. The first day is jewelry.

I'm thinking about it. . . . I need to rejuvenate and get excited about scrapbooking again--life events interfered with my regular routine and now I'm having a hard time starting. Perhaps this would do the trick!

I'm very excited about this class Ali and I can't wait to dedicate some time to focus on writing. I've already listened to your pre-class presentation twice! Do you think you could add 'make a 31 Things blog button' to your to-do list? I'd love to add one to my sidebar. Thank you!!

Well, I signed up too even though I have ZERO problem writing stories! I'm looking forward to some "automatic thinking" with the words before even looking at questions - jewelry (since you let the cat out of the bag already) for instance brings to mind my wedding ring -- we got 2 for $75; how I wear something from my husband when I need good luck with work; how I love two pieces I have that were my grandmothers -- and then how certain members of my family fought over my mom's things when she died in January -- good, bad, sweet, bitter, all excellent stories in their own right.

I won't be able to attend this class because I'll be traveling for work for most of the summer - would this be offered as a self paced class for those of us who'd like to do it later?
By the way - LOVE your prompts :)

Hi Kellie - this one won't be a self-paced class (at least anytime within the next two years or so). With Big Picture once you sign up you have indefinite access to the class so even if you aren't available to do it "live" you would still get the emails and could archive them for a time that's more convenient for you down the road.
