Are you a writer who struggles to find joy in your current writing practice? It’s time to set yourself free! This generative workshop is centered on throwing out everything we have learned about creative writing and, instead, tapping into our intrinsic desire to write and be heard. We’ll question our personal influences and writing processes to define what motivates us, what inspires us, and what our writing goals are. Then, we will generate new work.

WORKSHOP DATE: Saturday, October 19, 2024 10am-1pm CST, in-person at Gemini Ink

COST: Nonmember: $135; Member: $115; Student: $75
