"Writing can be a pretty desperate endeavor, because it is about some of our deepest needs: our need to be visible, to be heard, our need to make sense of our lives, to wake up and grow and belong. It is no wonder if we sometimes tend to take ourselves perhaps a bit too seriously."
From bird by bird, Anne Lamott
Have you ever felt a story welling up inside of you but didn’t know how to let it out? This creative writing workshop offers help. Together, we will explore fiction and memoir writing basics such as character development, plot, setting, conflict and suspense, narrative voice, and manuscript mechanics. Participants will produce and share original writing in the safety of Christian community.
Quality writing may be produced in private, but it is polished in public. Therefore, a premium will be placed on learning how to love, encourage, and respect one another as we write from the heart, hone editing and critiquing skills, and learn to let our light shine through the written word.
