All writers have times when they feel “stuck.” Fear, procrastination, not knowing what direction to take, all contribute to our inability to get on with our writing. Sometimes it feels impossible to write that first sentence. Sometimes we’re at the climax and aren’t sure how to proceed. This workshop will touch on methods to get you writing again. We’ll do some exercises and have discussions that will help us move forward.
