Flatiron Writers & Papershine Present:

Creating Your Writing Life
This is an all-day workshop designed for those who want to make consistent and sustainable room in their lives for writing. It’s about nurturing that creative space within you, and feeding it with production and pages. Let us help you uncover the resources within to get yourself writing regularly and with purpose.

Moderator: Heather Newton

This workshop is for you if you are:

• Just starting a writing project and need to develop a plan of attack
• Stuck in the middle of a story or novel and can’t seem to finish
• Finding it hard to make time in your life for writing
• Wanting to make contact with fellow writers for support and advice.

We will focus on four topics:

• Establishing Routines and Rituals
• Enhancing Space and Environment

• Building a Writing Community

 

A Wine and Cheese Social Hour will follow from 4:00 to 5:00 for participants interested in connecting with other writers to form or join critique groups.
