Structure is often seen as an imposed limitation on a writer's creativity. In this workshop we'll explore ways that structure can ignite your creativity-even when you end up breaking all the rules! We'll experiment with three types of structures, engaging with them and then pushing past their boundaries. Writers of all genres and at all levels are welcome. Bring an open mind and playful spirit! You may register at the door on the day of the event. We
This workshop is free but we request you RSVP so that we are better able to prepare for the event and for refreshments to be served during the event.
