Are you ready to write? This day long writing intensive is for you! This high energy workshop is a great way to jumpstart your writing or dive into that elusive what happens next in your work. We will begin by listening and reading published work aloud. Then, we will launch into word games, impromptu tellings, imagining a story place with characters and objects and telling the story with coaching from the instructor. Everyone writes and what’s written in the workshop is read aloud for class feedback. Point of view, present moment storytelling, gesture, audience, the writing process, and elements of scene will be emphasized.
