Writing Blind

This workshop will help writers access subconscious creativity. We will “action write” for up to ten minutes on descriptive and narrative themes, attempting to remove the filter between a writer’s mind and hand. Exercises include describing objects or colors, building a group story, and creating beginnings/endings for attendees to write toward. The point of this workshop is to make writers understand they don’t always have to know what they are writing about. It is possible to tap into a deeper source, let your pen go, write blind and see what happens—then perhaps shape the result into a story, poem or essay.
