A HYBRID Generative Fiction Workshop

4 Mondays, January 8th-29th

ALL LEVELS

Is your writing in need of a swift kick in the butt? Are you stuck mid-story and lack the drive to move forward? Maybe you’re not writing at all these days and want a jolt to get you going.

 This writing boot camp will definitely get you out of a rut. Whether you hope to discover more about a character you are already working with, or if you have no idea of where to start a new story, the workshop will get you moving in some new and interesting directions. Each session will engage the writers through prompts of sentences, situations, and word choices. There will be lots of writing and sharing. And oh yeah…. there will be sweat.

 Are you ready for some hard work? Do you want to generate new ideas? Join us.

+ PLEASE NOTE This workshop will occur In-PERSON at USM Portland AND ONLINE. The week before the workshop, attendees will be emailed the exact location of the class and the zoom link.
