Jumpstart: a writing workshop where creative sparks are used for jumping-off points to inspire writing.
We write for a variety of reasons. To tell our story, to tell what happened, or what happened as we remember it. Or, we write to tell A story. . . maybe fiction, or fiction based on truth. For the type of free-write writing that happens in Jumpstart . . . it doesn't matter why you're writing. . . . write whatever you want . . . truth, memorable or significant events, fiction, poetry . . . just write!
Bring a notebook and a fast-moving pen as we travel on a journey of exploration and deep writing through inspirational prompts.
We welcome and encourage all writers.
