Bonfires & Plotlines: Writing from the Heart of Autumn

There are three sessions for this opportunity! Sept 18th, Sept 25th, and Oct. 2nd. Join us as the air turns crisp and the days grow golden, autumn invites us to slow down, reflect, and dig deep. Bonfires & Plotlines is a creative writing workshop designed to harness the evocative spirit of fall-its warmth, nostalgia, decay, and transformation-as fuel for rich, emotionally resonant storytelling. Whether you're crafting fiction, memoir, or lyrical prose, this class encourages you to write from the core of your experiences and imagination. Each week, we'll gather around the metaphorical bonfire to explore seasonal themes-change, memory, letting go, and inner fire-through writing prompts, guided discussions, and supportive peer feedback. Expect cozy vibes, and a renewed sense of connection to your voice, your stories, and the natural rhythm of your creative process. All levels welcome. Bring a notebook, your favorite pen, and a readiness to write from the heart. ETSU employees may use employee audit.
