Saturday Oct 29th 1- 4 pm

with Neil de la Flor & special guest.

This multi-dimensional, multi-genre creative writing workshop will build your confidence as a creative writer by encouraging you to tap into your subconscious. This workshop will (help) trigger and transform the pure energy in your mind—the ideas & images that live there—into concrete forms such as short memoirs, stories, and/or poems. We'll unearth the unexpected stories that live inside of us, all of us, just near the surface. We'll generate writing, share the work and engage in lively craft discussions. We'll talk a little about publication and how to keep the pure NrG flowing after the course is over. All you need is a laptop, and/or pen & some paper, a smile and your imagination.
