You love to write, perhaps it's torture... Either way you wish you were doing more of it.
In this day-long class, we'll get you writing again through a series of tools, exercises and discussions from famous creativity and writing experts such as Natalie Goldberg, author of "Writing Down The Bones" and Julia Cameron's "The Artist's Way."
Bring a pen and paper or a laptop. We will be writing by hand. You can also bring a laptop for our afternoon session, if you want. You'll be glad you took the plunge. We'll take an hour lunch break during the day, and you can bring food from home or explore the neighborhood restaurants.
