Discover a safe and highly supportive approach to writing. Creative writing tips will be provided at the beginning of the workshop, along with prompts focusing on uplifting themes and memoir writing, though you are always free to write about whatever you wish. We will free-write together for 10-15 minutes without concern for grammar, punctuation, spelling, or any other type of editing. Participants will read out loud what they wrote and participants respond (both optional) with only supportive feedback about what they liked best, what stood out for them, or what they remembered most, while writers listen quietly to all feedback. Beginning and ongoing writers are all welcome.
