How to Be Constantly Inspired: A Creative Writing Workshop
“What if I run out of ideas?” is the deepest fear of many writers, but after this class, it doesn’t have to be. Even the smallest ideas can easily bloom into huge successes. After all, the great symphonies of history started with a few notes, and Middle Earth started with just a germ of an idea.
This workshop is about encouraging your creativity and providing you with tools that you can use any time you are feeling uninspired. The discussion will include an exciting mixture of instruction, games, and exercises designed to get your creative juices flowing. In this class, you will learn how your senses interact with the world around you and how those senses can influence creativity in different ways. As part of the writing exercises, you will learn to write from a simple smell, from a touch, from a picture, from a taste, from a sound, and from a memory.
This workshop is geared toward writers, but artists in many different kinds of media have found it beneficial.
This class in partnership with SoLit and The Chattery.
Please note: Masks are optional.
