This workshop is designed to help local authors and hobby writers stay motivated in their craft and feel inspired to write new works. This class will focus on generating new work in short time periods and will provide a space for writers to learn from each other and a professional editor. Additionally, it will provide a creative and open space to write without judgement. Despite writing often being seen as a solitary craft, finding a community of authors, editors, and readers is vital to helping aspiring authors develop and grow on their journey. This is true for both accomplished
published authors and those who are just starting to put pen to paper.
Curriculum: Each session, I will provide two prompts for participants to write from. These prompts could consist of one word, a short scene to continue writing, a mood to consider, or a situation.
Structure: Each session will consist of two twenty-minute writing blocks. Each block will help people learn the finer points of storytelling on paper.
