With a series of writing exercises, you’ll be encouraged to tap into your creativity and unleash your ideas.

What will we cover?

In this class we will focus on a number of varied, timed writing exercises that are designed to explore your creativity and prompt different ways of writing. These exercises can be done with a specific creative project in mind, or just for fun!
