About this Event
Are you a Writer? Do you wish you were a Writer? Are you stuck somewhere between the multitude of words in your head and the blank page in front of you? This writing workshop will free those writing blocks and release your creativity!
At Creative Hearts we understand the creative struggle. This workshop is a 'break free' experience to get the words flowing and break through the barriers that block you. You can conquer that enemy called 'procrastination'!
You will become a more effective and confident writer in just a few hours, giving you a sample of what potential you could unlock. With a focus on getting you past your personal blocks to writing, this workshop offers practical techniques to help you:
- Write clearly, simply and succinctly
- Write for your audience and stay 'reader-focused'
- When even when 'you don't feel like it'
- Learn what works and what doesn't
- Meet and connect with like-minded writers
Cost: $65
Tickets available through Eventbrite or at the Creative Hearts Art Gallery (Mon-Fri 10am-3pm)
