Word Whips, The North Shore Edition
This workshop is open to everyone and great for all age groups and levels of writers. Take the challenge. Write to a prompt for 10-15 minutes and see what you get. This kind of free flow writing to prompts by-passes the inner critic, removes blocks and inhibitions and with everyone in the same boat, with the same time constraints, it and quickly builds trust in groups. Getting stuff out, getting it down on paper and sharing with others- these things are life enhancing, life affirming. Come try your hand at it!
Hosted by poet Fran Bourassa
