However, few ever see their dream come to fruition. If you've ever wanted to write a book but don't know how or where to start or maybe you've tried in the past and couldn't get past the blank screen in front of you, I'll teach you how to get over your fear, doubts, and procrastination habits to get that first book done. Taking on a big project like this can be intimidating so I'll show you a framework to break this down into small, reasonable, and realistic steps to make writing and publishing a book an achievable goal. In this course, you'll learn the "anatomy" of a book, how to get your ideas organized into a succinct roadmap, and how to overcome writer's block. Finally, I will teach you how to approach the editing process, how to format your manuscript, how to design a cover, and how to self-publish on Amazon KDP: one of the biggest publishing platforms in the world.*Note: This course is open to both non-fiction and fiction writers.*Classes will be recorded as a courtesy for students who have to miss a class.Reviews from prior students:“I thought that John did a phenomenal job both in planning content and presenting the course. His significant resources were very helpful and I will continually refer to them as I move forward in writing my book. He is very knowledgeable, having written several books on diverse topics.”” John was thorough and engaging. His handouts were extremely useful. His organization was remarkable. This was a great class.”“Very organized and methodical approach to self-publishing, John's course makes the whole process seem very doable."_____________________________________________________________________________________________________Johns Hopkins Tuition Remission Policies  Johns Hopkins alumni, staff, faculty and their spouse or domestic partners are eligible for tuition remission for Odyssey lifelong learning courses.

Odyssey Virtual November 05, November 5, TuesdayGetting to Know Your Mind Better, Rachna Kejriwal, Odyssey, VirtualCourse Title: Getting to Know Our Mind BetterInstructor:  Rachna Kejriwal, Engr '89Brought to you by Odyssey   November 05, 2024 - December 10, 2024 (6 Sessions)  Tuesday,  6:00PM ET - 8:00PM ET  Virtual via Zoom   Course Description: Most of our known limitations come from our Mind. If we could understand our belief systems and release ourselves from the ones that don’t work for us, if we could understand how our Mind works and not pay attention to it when it’s repeatedly negative, if we could understand what to do with our emotions, or if we could stop the same defeating pattern in our relationships … what would life look like? Getting to know our Mind better, helps us understand better, and provides tools to empower ourselves to lead a more fulfilling life.This is a workshop style course where participants will be expected to partner and build connections. Below is an outline of the six sessions in this course. S1: How are our beliefs formed?Beliefs are those ideas, we assumed to be true about ourselves early on. ‘I’m very messy. I should’ve been a boy. I’m not as smart as my sister.’ Many times we don’t even know where this belief comes from. Yet, they guide us in our daily behaviors and actions. They sit in our subconscious. But if we could dispel of these beliefs from our very root, then we could behave and act differently. We could be free of these beliefs. This module help explains how we form our beliefs and what we can do to dispel the ones that don’t empower us. S2: Rules of the Mind 1Our Mind is like a separate entity. It functions on its own. It keeps on saying things to itself. Unfortunately, most of the time, it may choose to say things that don’t help us. Interestingly, that’s the one thing that we can control and stop. We can stop the things we don’t want to say, and purposely guide ourselves to the things we want to say. By understanding The Rules of the Mind, we can take purposeful responsibility in changing our thoughts.S3: Rules of the Mind 2As we change our thoughts, we can our feelings, our behavior and our actions. As we understand how these are intertwined, we can make decisions and guide ourselves to the thoughts that work for us. And the thoughts that keep on disturbing us, we can try to understand what is the belief we’ve formed behind these thoughts. S4: Our emotions: what to do with them?We’ve been told, don’t get emotional. But what to do with them? We do have emotions. They’re very real and they’re trying to tell us something. Instead of pushing them away, we can understand what they are trying to tell us, how to feel them and how to manage them.S5: Procrastination: what does it really mean?Procrastination isn’t laziness. We want to do something, and when we’re just about to start, we start doing something else. We avoid the project we’re trying to do. Why? Understanding what our procrastination is really trying to tell us, we can deal with it and use it to help us move forward. S6: Relationships: the mental dance we doAny close relationship - parent-child, spouse-spouse, brother-sister, eventually gets stuck on a few issues. Each person eventually figures out what triggers the other. We say the same things again and again, and never resolve the issue. We do a dance with the same mental moves. How do we break this dance and resolve this mental act-react cycle?Note:The idea of this series is not just to learn but to experience. Each class is set with introduction of the concepts, then applying them with exercises with a fellow student partner. The learning becomes experiential. Everyone’s lives are busy. The idea is to have the initial experience during class and then understand how to look at our own Mind. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________Johns Hopkins Tuition Remission Policies  Johns Hopkins alumni, staff, faculty and their spouse or domestic partners are eligible for tuition remission for Odyssey lifelong learning courses.

Region November 15, November 15, FridaySeattle Wicked BroadwaySponsored by Hopkins Seattle Join fellow alumni and friends for an evening at the Paramount Theatre, for WICKED, the Broadway sensation! Audience members will look at what happened in the Land of Oz… but from a different angle. Long before Dorothy arrives, there is another young woman, born with emerald-green skin - smart, fiery, misunderstood, and possessing an extraordinary talent. When she meets a bubbly blonde who is exceptionally popular, their initial rivalry turns into the unlikeliest of friendships… until the world decides to call one “good,” and the other one “wicked.” From the first electrifying note to the final breathtaking moment, WICKED—the untold true story of the Witches of Oz—transfixes audiences with its wildly inventive story. “If every musical had the brains, heart and courage of WICKED, Broadway really would be a magical place” (Time Magazine).Seats for the performance will be in the loge (front lower balcony) for the best view in the house with use of the Club Lounge during intermission (private bar/bathrooms). The group will also have access before the show to the exclusive backstage Ernestine Anderson Room (Green Room above the stage) where hors d’oeuvres by Tom Douglas’s The Carlile Room are provided.  Additional food and beverages may be purchased separately.

Meet opera’s most power-hungry couple: Macbeth and his Lady. When they’re caught in a murderous plot to claim the Scottish throne, their manic greed for control has no end. Verdi wrote this powerhouse during Italy’s independence movement, and it soars with themes of political corruption, tyrannical rule, and liberation of the people.Macbeth takes audiences through a gripping tale of ambition and scandal, from the first note to the spectacular closing chorus. As the chilling finale approaches, ghosts of the past lurk in the shadows. Power unchecked comes at a cost; what can stop its bloody path of destruction?Please join us before the show at the KC Cafe for a pre-show drink and snack.

November 20, November 20, WednesdayGertrude Stein scholar and cousin Phoebe Stein will be joined by Gabrielle Dean, curator of Gertrude Stein in Circles: Spheres of Life and Writing, to discuss Stein’s geographically distant, but psychologically deep-rooted, relationship to her native United States.Gertrude Stein (1874-1946), who attended the Johns Hopkins School of Medicine in one of the first classes to admit women, developed her pioneering literary career in Paris, but always centered her American identity. She was less explicit about her Jewish heritage and queer sexuality, yet lived openly with the woman she considered her wife, Alice B. Toklas. From her favorite U.S. President, to her native nationalism, to her heroic wartime experiences and deeply troubling allegiances, to her cheeky takes on movie stars and famous artists, Stein’s politics, prejudices, and perspectives on American culture in her time have surprising relevance today.Program5:30 PM Doors open6:00 PM Program with Q&A6:45 PM Reception and exhibition viewing7:30 PM Event endsAbout the ExhibitionShowcasing the Sheridan Libraries’ Robert A. Wilson Collection of rarely exhibited first editions, drafts, correspondence, photographs, and ephemera linked to Gertrude Stein, Gertrude Stein in Circles: Spheres of Life and Writing documents how the pioneering American writer fostered avant-garde connections throughout her lifetime and explores Stein’s ongoing legacy as a beacon for artists, writers, and LGBTQ+ communities. Photo credit: Carl Van Vechten, Public domain, via Wikimedia Commonsgertrude-stein-s-america-a-conve

ArtsEntertainmentAthleticsMedia KriegerSchoolofArtsSciences HopkinsatHome December 05, December 5, Thursday• Featuring Marshall Meyer, PhD candidate •• Presented by Hopkins at Home •Join us for a virtual discussion on the rise of therapy in television storytelling.Over the past twenty years, television has experienced a surge in series that use therapy sessions as a key narrative device. This trend, largely popularized by The Sopranos, has since spread across genres, with shows like In Treatment dedicating entire episodes to a single session. Even innovative series like Fleabag bring a confessional tone, breaking the fourth wall to deepen the connection between character and viewer. Marshall Meyer suggests that television and therapy share a natural affinity—both unfold in episodes or sessions with time in between, capturing the complexity and continuity of the therapeutic process. Join us as we explore how this dynamic not only makes therapy a prevalent theme in TV but also hints at television’s own therapeutic potential.Disclaimer: The perspectives and opinions expressed by the speaker(s) during this program are those of the speaker(s) and not, necessarily, those of Johns Hopkins University and the scheduling of any speaker at an alumni event or program does not constitute the University’s endorsement of the speaker’s perspectives and opinions.JHAA Event Cancellation and Refund Policy television-therapy

This constant cycle leaves most feeling frustrated, and far from operating at their peak potential. Now more than ever, individuals need a clear, practical strategy to break through the busyness and turn "time poverty" into "time wealth".
