Do you have a novel that has been wasting away on your drive, untouched, and you don’t know why? A book you’ve tried to abandon that still haunts you when you’re falling asleep? In this generative workshop, we will lean into aspects of craft—plot, structure, character, pacing, dialogue, description, voice—to get you back in touch with your stalled project. Each class will contain a short lecture that will lead to a generative prompt designed to nudge aside old blocks and point you back to your most curious, creative self.
Please bring a small, unlined notebook.
