(8:30pm ET, 6:30pm CT, 5:30pm PST)

We talk a lot about the craft of writing and the business of writing. But what is it that connects the two, and why do we avoid exploring this liminal space? This interactive session unfolds as a creative experiment, answering the question: Can we really design a creative practice that fits into and enhances our lives? By the end of this 2-hour workshop, writers will have a mind map sketch (in their own lexicon) that highlights what their own liminal space can look like, and how this liminal space can become the missing piece in their own craft and business of writing toolkits.

This session is offered in collaboration with the Saskatchewan Writers' Guild.
