About

**This workshop will be live streamed via Zoom.** 

A safe environment is created to provide writers of all levels and genres an opportunity to generate new writing. Enrollment is limited to eight writers.

Two prompts will be provided for timed writing, followed by an opportunity to read and receive responses to this fresh written material. Reading your work is optional. Responses can only begin with: what is strong, what I like and what stays with me. An additional prompt will be given for optional homework.
