Seminar Description
In each session, we will investigate a different trick, tool, or “firestarter” to generate new creative material and story ideas. In addition to honing the “how” for shaping your new work, you’ll learn ways to push through the blocks between those great ideas and actually getting something on paper. You will leave each session inspired, refreshed, and with the seed of a new work-in-progress. All levels are welcome.
Five sessions. E - $210, L - $231
