Have you been poring over the same piece nonstop and need a break? Do you have a new idea but aren’t sure how to get started with it? Are you just generally looking for new approaches or inspiration? Then this one-day workshop is for you.

In this class, we’ll do a series of prompts to help you get out of your groove and get started on something fresh.

We’ll discuss issues such as where to begin and end the piece and how to achieve transparency and momentum.

Writers will be invited (not required) to share work and exchange ideas. All genres welcome!
