UPCOMING EVENTS

Come to write. Need not consider yourself a writer.

This generative writing session will feature unique prompts to respond to and engage with. Take as long or as little time as you'd like with each prompt - the prompts exist to be constructive, so feel free to reinterpret them, flip them, or do your own thing entirely. Explore your mind, compose specific poems or stories on the spot, obliterate that writer's block, reorient your thinking process through unorthodox entrances, or edit something you’ve already written — It’s your gym!

Time provided at the end of the event if anyone would like to share something composed during the session.

Journals + Pens provided, or bring your own notebook, journal, laptop, sketchpad, etc.
