About this event
- 2 hours
Join us at the Short Path Distillery to shake up your writing soul! If you already love writing, or want to try your hand at the craft, this workshop is for you. (Each workshop hosted at SPD will offer different material.)
We'll use written and visual prompts to stretch our writing muscles. The takeaway can be a new piece you're proud of, discovering new tools to fuel your creativity, or just enjoying the writing zone with others. (This is not a critique group.) You can use fiction, non-fiction, poetry; whatever style speaks to you. The main goal is to write with gusto! We'll share some of our responses to the prompts throughout the class. Please bring a notebook and pen/pencil (or computer if you prefer). We'll be in the barrelhouse - a quiet space for us to create and share.
