Generative Fiction Boot Camp

 Hey, my writer cohorts!

Is your writing feeling a little stuck? Are you mid-story and lack the drive to move forward? Maybe you’re not writing at all these days and you need a swift kick in the butt. (Metaphorically, of course.) If so, you need a boot camp.

Whether you hope to discover more about a character you’ve already been working with or have no idea where to start a new story, this boot camp workshop will get you moving in some new and interesting directions. Each session will engage the writers through timed prompts of sentences, situations, and word choices. There will be lots of writing and sharing. And oh yeah…there will be sweat.

Are you ready for some hard work? Do you want to generate new ideas? Join me.
