For those who want to write a novel, screenplay, short story—anything at all, the first step is to start writing. This lively and inspiring workshop will show you how to get started. Within the friendly setting of like-experienced writers, you’ll practice the craft of writing through group exercises and spontaneous discussions. You’ll not only learn how to get started but how to keep going, what stuck looks like and how to get unstuck, how to tell when the critic, censor, or editor is present and what to do about it, and how discover what you really want to write about. Join in for a fast and friendly, enjoyable couple hours of writing. Who knows what can happen?
