Generative writing workshops provide time and space to create new work inspired by writing prompts, discussing craft, and sharing work. They stretch your writing practice by introducing new frameworks and forms, spark fresh ideas or dig up buried memories, and offer a place to share fellowship with other writers. In this 3-part workshop, we'll take inspiration from various mythological traditions to generate new writing or to enhance creative pieces in process. Our time together will be balanced between reading inspiration texts, writing to prompts related to those texts, and sharing our writing. This is an opportunity for writers of any genre (poetry, fiction, nonfiction) and at any level to set aside some time for creative output and community.
