Master techniques to stop overthinking and get words on the page!
Do you ever think to yourself: “I have many creative ideas and stories to tell, but why is it so hard to get my ideas out of my head and onto the page?” This workshop helps you understand your creative process on a deeper level so you can work with it and not against it. In this workshop, you will learn the difference between the mindset needed for idea and draft generation and the mindset needed for organizing and editing your work. We will experiment with variations of expressive and intuitive writing, and other techniques that break down barriers to writing. Writers will come away with a rough draft and a new appreciation for the early stages of story development.
