Techniques to Write like Never Before in an Overwhelming World

March 11, 2021 @ 6:30 pm - 8:00 pm CST

Free

Zoom Author Talk and Q&A with Award-winning Author and Writing Coach Jen Knox

Free & Open to the Public

In a world where a global pandemic, bigotry, violence, mental illness and financial uncertainty are the daily headlines, literary and artistic voices are needed more than ever. We are ready for a collective Renaissance, and to get there, we need to continue to innovate and create like never before. Meanwhile, many writers feel blocked or overwhelmed by global events. This talk will cover the necessity of writing personally and communally, and Jen will discuss meditative techniques to support us to break creative blocks that come from overwhelm in order to find deeper emotional resonance in our writing.
