Ever find yourself on the verge of throwing your eternally-blank screen out the high-rise window, the great American novel be damned? Perfect! Bring your white-knuckle blues to our monthly get-togethers and turn that no-writing frown inside-out, upside-down, and right-side back again. Attendees can expect a hands-on, real-time writing exercise—rest assured, by hook or crook, you *will* tell said untold story to a class full of your-misery-loving good company. With laughter. Because laughter—levity, perspective, fresh POV, and deep breathing—is truly the best medicine for writer’s block. To get the ball rolling, each participant must share a stuck story idea by way of introducing themselves to the class (approximately 2 minutes). This workshop will be held the last Sunday for four months (January 29, February 26, March 26, and April 30).
