I dare you to try my go-to writing exercises.
Join this Zoom workshop — or catch the replay — and discover the joys of inviting the unknown into your work.
I’ve been singing the praises of writing exercise a lot lately, so it seems like a good time to share what works for me. If you’re interested in: stimulating your imagination; being surprised by ideas; overcoming perfectionism, creative paralysis, and block; having more fun writing; and writing more, then this workshop is for you! And by “workshop” I really just mean a casual Zoom gathering in which I’ll lead you through a handful of my favorite short writing exercises and try to help you find the free and fearless creative headspace where magic is most likely to happen.
I’ve gone into detail about the benefits of playful, non-goal-oriented writing exercise (not just for beginners, but writers at every stage) in these two previous posts:
I hope you’ll check those out, and, if you’re intrigued, join me [edited: This workshop has happened; the replay can be found HERE. You can purchase access to this post for a one-time fee of $7.50 (of which $2.50 is app store fees 😕) or join my Patreon for $5/month and access this PLUS four years’ worth of content!]
This was so fun! Bring a notebook, pen, and sense of possibility.
