As writers, we often stop ourselves before we start. Let’s shed that pressure by doing the opposite: let’s write as badly as we can! No punctuation. All the cliches. Run-on sentences, incomplete sentences. Forgo grammar. In this workshop, we will make our hands (on paper nonetheless!) move faster than our brains. We’ll make a mound of word clay and then start the process of going back into a page to mold Brilliant And Daring writing. We’ll dig into (and get over!) ourselves to mine the gems that were there all along.
this event is free
