Writing Workshop: Starting with Place
Ongoing. Register at The Writer’s Circle Learning Space.
Using place as a focal point, students utilize guided freewriting to brainstorm a full-blown story idea complete with setting, characters, relationships, conflict, and plot.
This might be a story you decide to pursue after the class is over, or you might discover sparks that are useful in current or future projects. The goal is to practice a new idea- generation technique and explore how brainstorming can expand when you start from new angles (in this case: setting).
