Writer's Block
Description: Little is more disconcerting and depressing to a writer than staring down the cold steel barrel of writer’s block, particularly when you are mid-project. In this short workshop we will stare back, unflinching, and discuss some practical ways to overcome writer’s block.
Who Should Attend: Writers at every level and in every genre will benefit from this class.
