We become obsessed with choosing the "correct" words, editing every sentence before we've even finished the paragraph, and worrying about word count, mechanics and grammar instead of exploring where our writing can really take us.From Spark to Story is a hands-on creative writing workshop designed to help you reconnect with your imagination, strengthen your observation skills, and transform your ideas into engaging stories.What we'll do:Throughout the day, you'll take part in a series of thoughtfully designed creative exercises that encourage you to see the world differently, generate new ideas, and strengthen your storytelling skills. Each activity has a purpose—helping you spark creativity, sharpen your observation skills, and develop practical techniques you can apply to your own writing long after the workshop ends.Who it's for:Beginning fiction writersWriters feeling stuckExperienced writers looking to reignite creativityAnyone who wants to explore the craft of writing in a relaxed and fun environmentThe Instructor:Victoria is a college professor, editor, and lifelong lover of words with more than 20 years of experience in communications and nearly a decade teaching writing and communication at the college level.
