Workshop Description
We will gather at Pakachoag Church in a supportive writing community, write together to prompted exercises, read our fresh work when we choose to, and respond with what we liked about each others’ work. A typical session includes a brief coffee break then discussion of personal writing projects. Members may hand out copies of their work for review at home and group discussion at the following meeting. So bring your notebooks and pens or laptops, forget what you think you know or do not know about writing, and discover the joy of finding your unique voice in a fun, nurturing workshop.
