Writing 101: Getting Started

So you’ve always wanted to write a book? Or you’ve always written something— stories, letters, a journal, but don’t know what to do with the writing? Perhaps there is a story you’ve always wanted to tell? This session will provide information and strategies on identifying yourself as a writer, getting rid of the critics (inner and outer), identifying your writing process, and making time and space for your writing. We’ll explore these topics through discussion, writing exercises, and sharing work.

Bring your favorite writing tools, whether electronic or mechanical.

Paper and pens/pencils will be available as back up.
