Creative Writing Techniques: Braving the Elements
Explore creative writing and storytelling techniques in a safe and supportive environment. Each week, we will look at one or more of the building blocks of storytelling (setting, character, plot, scene, point of view, the use of language) and apply these elements to creative writing forms of your own choosing, including fiction, memoir, poetry, playwriting and screenwriting. In this free workshop series participants will use exercises and examples to:
build a mindful writing practice
develop their own voice
be an active part of a creative community.
Every Tuesday from 1:00–2:30 p.m. February 9 to March 16.
