Description :

This 7-week series is a creative writing group for adults, open to experienced writers as well as those who have an interest in writing but may be out of practice or aren’t sure how to get started. The evening starts with the instructor providing a one-sentence prompt. Participants will write, in longhand, whatever comes to mind for a specific time; 2 to 6 minutes, selected at the start. Individuals may be sparked by the prompt or write something entirely different that springs to mind. Each prompt launches a mini-creative writing exercise and suspends the “inner critic”; the voice that often gets in the way of really good ideas! The result may be sad, funny, reflective, or poignant. Writers will take turns reading what they wrote or they may “pass” with no comment or judgment. Sharing helps both the writer and the group, but it is not required. Please note: This is not a group to read passages of your new novel or try out plot twists or character development. It is a place to fire up your imagination and try new approaches to writing.
