Category: Workshop
In this generative writing workshop, we’ll read and discuss brief excerpts of prose, and we’ll use those discussions to inform our generative writing exercises. This class is adaptable to any genre, including hybrid writing, and participants will have the option to work on one longer piece or several shorter pieces. Participants are also welcome to bring a draft of a work-in-progress to edit and grow. We will focus on language, POV, character/conflict, setting, sound, and form. Everyone can expect to walk away with some new writing and fresh ideas on how to keep going.
