Curious creatives are folks who find windows of mystery in the mundane world, who value new perspectives, who are led by a longing to create.

Creative longings can take many forms—writing, making art, teaching, relating to others, solving problems—but it’s not always easy to respond to the call to be creative. Life with its persistent worries can get in the way, making you feel stuck.

What if the secret to getting unstuck is to see the world through a new lens?

I’m Dr Jodie Clark, a linguist who writes fiction about the intimacy embedded in the structure of language. I’ve designed this course to give you a taste of how my fascination with linguistics has inspired my creative work. I hope it will inspire you as well.

I’m so glad you’re here.
