Writing from Joy: One Day Intensive

In this three-hour intensive, we will intentionally spend time with joy and investigate how to write from it and write about it. Concentrating on two craft techniques that can reenergize a narrative (and the self), writers will end the morning with new work and thoughtful momentum for whatever creative project awaits.

-Saturday, August 16th from 9am-12pm at the Attic Institute
