Finding the Fun: Approaching Writing with Playful Experimentation and Compassion

What you do when your writing feels stalled or blah can make the difference between an incomplete draft and a published, or even bestselling one. There’s a secret to success that’s NOT about grinding it out in a harsh and arduous way to meet your writing goals. What if you could make it fun and write (and rewrite) with a sense of ease instead? If you’ve been what the The New York Times describes as languishing creatively during the pandemic, facing a second book curse or feeling stuck in the messy middle of a manuscript, this workshop is for you. Join author and creative writing instructor Suzanne Alyssa Andrew for an exploration of imaginative and compassionate approaches to reinvigorate your writing practice.
