WRITING WORKSHOP: Pulling Stories Out of Thin Air

Writers may call upon the muse, read and brood and dream and talk, fashion grand schemes in their imaginations, sharpen pencils and invest in computer software, but until words are written on paper, writers have nothing but thin air to show for their efforts. It is a rare muse that reveals itself at times other than during the writing act itself! In an atmosphere of “give yourself permission to write badly,” writer and writing teacher Armin will lead participants through a series of writing exercises designed to help generate the raw material for a possible story and to write a tentative beginning.
