Just Get Me Started
Description: Having trouble staring down the blank page? This workshop will give you exercises to help you get the first words out. We’ll write story beginnings and learn to enjoy the process of starting from a word, image or idea.
It’s a great way to dip your toe in the pool of telling stories!
Who Should Attend: This course is for everyone; writers of all levels who want to get started (or re-started) with their writing.
