SUMMARY:Uncommon Prompts: Generative Prompt Workshop
DESCRIPTION:Join board member Michelle Kelleher every second Tuesday for this new daytime writing series. We’ll run through a new set of unusual writing prompts every session\, pulled from craft books\, classes\, and imagination\, before moving into forty minutes of free writing. Treat these prompts as a catalyst to create something new or as a warm-up before moving on to an existing project. Every session of Uncommon Prompts will be different. Come try something new to keep your creativity flowing throughout the year. \nThis event is free and open to the community. No RSVP required.
