Please feel free to join my free, generative writing sprint tomorrow, Saturday Jan 8, at 1 - 3 pm!

The Zoom link is below.

I'll offer prompts that work for all kinds of writing - fiction, memoir, or essays.

We'll work in 4 blocks of approximately thirty-minute sprints so, potentially, you could come along and A) begin 4 different pieces that can then be completed later on your own time or 😎 start one new piece and work on it the whole time.

And, of course, you can always ignore the prompts altogether and continue with your existing work in progress.

Feel free to hop in and out as your schedule allows.

Below is the link. I hope to see you then and please feel free to share with any writer friends! The workshop is open and free to all writers.
