Creative resilience means facing setbacks and moving forward in your artistry anyway. It means harnessing the energy to create what you feel called to produce. It means owning your journey completely as you share your art. But how do you manage the ups and downs of the writing life, tell your truths without injuring yourself, and keep your creative engine burning through it all?

In this two-part workshop, we will explore the many versions of creative block, from writer’s block to rejection letters, from tough critiques to typos to self-doubt. We will then combine writing and resiliency techniques to support an enduring creative practice while generating bold new work that only you can write. 

This course is open to writers of all genres, backgrounds, and skill levels, 18+.

What you can expect in this workshop: 

• A nurturing and fun space to explore your stories and poetry
• Creative resilience techniques for writing through and about difficult times
• Practice using these tools to generate authentic raw material
• Feedback and an opportunity to share
