I’m the Education Program Coordinator for Chicago Writers Association and we have quarterly educational programs for scribes at all levels.
On May 12th, Jerilyn Willin will give a 2-hour workshop, The Stories Within You, from 9:30 am to 12:30 pm at Columbia College, 600 S. Michigan, 4th floor conference room.
Workshop Description
A story lives inside you even as you read this. Whether we write for our own enjoyment or share our work with others, we sometimes fall into periods of fallow. We worry. Where has our creativity gone? What can we do to get the spark back?
The Stories Within You ignites the creative embers of writers at all levels. Through exercises adapted from the prestigious Iowa Writer’s Festival, participants will learn techniques to defeat writer’s block, develop a new scene with 5-10 possibilities for expansion, plus interact with others who write!
In this two hour workshop, Jerilyn Willin will Story Within You Workshop participants to:Learn a quick, easy technique to defeat writer’s block and tap into their creativity
- Practice an ongoing technique to track and capture manuscript ideas
- Develop a new scene with 5-10 possibilities for expansion
