Our day is going to begin with a writing prompt and then Midge Raymond will teach the first workshop. I’m so looking forward to it because I’m always juggling multiple projects and deadlines.
Everyday Writing: Making Time for Creativity Busy writers often struggle to fit writing into their regularly scheduled lives. In this hand’s-on workshop, you’ll learn invaluable tips for how to fit various aspects of your writing into every day—from how to hone your powers of observation to how to keep your projects moving forward even when you’re short on time. We’ll spend part of the workshop addressing your biggest obstacles to creativity, and then we’ll work on strategies for overcoming these obstacles. We’ll also do a sampling of writing prompts that reinforce new tips on fitting in writing time; these prompts will teach you how to think like a writer, even if you’re not able to sit down to write every day. Participants will leave the workshop with customized writing schedules and inspiration for how to best fit writing and creativity into their lives. Bring a laptop or notebook for in-class writing.
