In this hands-on workshop, the instructions are simple: Keep your hand moving, dig deep, give yourself permission to write drech, tell the truth. I’ll give prompts and we’ll work in 15-minute bursts; then we’ll share what we wrote. For experienced writers and novices alike, this practice is a powerful tool for cutting through to your authentic voice. Bring pen and paper and be prepared to use them. Tanya Shaffer is an award-winning playwright and author of the travel memoir "Somebody’s Heart is Burning: A Woman Wanderer in Africa". Her stories and essays have appeared on Salon.com and in numerous anthologies.
This Study Group is for those over 50, and will meet on Wednesdays from April 11 - May 16.
