Join us from 1:00 -3:00 PM on April 25 for Drafting as Play, a generative writing workshop with Corinne Cordasco-Pak!

About the workshop:

Facing the blank page, navigating the “messy middle,” sticking the landing on a perfect ending, or even just knowing when a piece is done…

Every stage of the writing process has its own challenges, but that doesn’t mean that they have to feel challenging. “Drafting as Play” is a generative workshop designed to help writers reimagine parts of the writing process that are generally thought of as difficult or sticky. In fact, it’s these challenging moments that offer writers the most opportunity to create something fresh, fun, and surprising--maybe even to themselves.

From exploring an idea in its early stages to hunkering down over the course of multiple revisions, the workshop includes practical, generative strategies for getting words on the page and moving writing projects—big or small—forward. Over the course of the workshop, we’ll learn (and practice) ways to keep the spark alive and stay open to possibilities open as you write and revise. Attendees will leave with practical strategies that they can return to whenever writing feels hard.

We’ll write together during the course of the class, so attendees are invited to bring a few pages of an in-progress project or even just a new idea. Please also bring pen and paper as we’ll spend some time working by hand.
