Instructor: Anais Salibian
Ah, writer’s block. Don’t believe in it. Take this workshop and find out what it does to your brain and nervous system, and what to do about it. We’ll discuss strategies and also dig deeper, looking into causes and doing exercises that put you back in the flow. If you’re bogged down, bring your blank page, your frozen pen, and your willingness to experiment. If you’re new to writing, this is a great way to launch.
