Writing in community with others, with guidelines designed to keep our space supportive, welcoming, and inclusive, is a magical process. It feels especially critical in this era to come together and connect with our creative sides. https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events10/banners/31ef6950-27ba-11f1-abfa-df778fbf16da-rimg-w1110-h740-dc312f2d-gmir.jpg In our generative creative writing workshops, we will write together in response to optional writing prompts and then be invited (but not required) to read aloud our newly created work. The group will then reflect back what they most liked, noticed, or remembered about this work. This will be a confidential incubator space to write anything that the prompt inspires, to journal or reflect, to think and dream, and/or work on something you've been writing or have always wanted to write. No creative writing experience needed and open to all genres of creative writing and/or journaling.If you'd prefer to write using your laptop, please make sure it's fully charged as power won't be available. But there will be plenty of pens and paper. https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events9/banners/324d40c0-27ba-11f1-96d6-b101af5a0325-rimg-w493-h740-dc4b4845-gmir.jpg Meet Your Instructor: Aaron Zimmerman, NY Writers Coalition, Bad Habits Writing AcademyAaron Zimmerman was the Founder of Executive Director of NY Writers Coalition, one of the nation’s largest community writing programs, and has been leading creative writing workshops since 1997.
