  Ellis Elliott is a poet, author, and the founder of  Bewilderness Writing , a weekly online workshop where writers gather to explore the fertile wilderness of their creative subconscious through freewriting from poetry prompts. Since 2020, she has cultivated a brave and supportive community that values expression over perfection, helping participants quiet their inner critic and discover their authentic voices on the page. This year, Ellis released the first  Bewilderness Journal , showcasing the powerful, intimate work that has emerged from these sessions. I sat down with Ellis to talk about how the workshops began, what it took to grow this community, the inspiration behind the new journal, and what’s next for  Bewilderness Writing .   Dianne Pearce (Dianne):  Thanks so much for the meetup Ellis.
