Saturday, | Creative Writing for Teens: Got stories, ideas, lyrics, or new worlds living in your head? Let’s get them on the page. In this workshop, you’ll have the freedom to write what you want—fiction, poetry, songs, or something totally your own—while learning a few powerful tools that all great writing shares.We’ll explore inspiring examples across genres and use fun, low-pressure prompts to help you get started (or keep going). Bring a brand-new idea or something you’re already working on—both are welcome. Come experiment, take risks, and find your voice. FREE! Location: JMRL Crozet Branch |
Saturday, | Nature Speaks! Earth, Wind, Fire, Air—A Poetry Workshop: This poetry workshop will provide multiple paths for poets to write about nature (amidst earth, wind, fire and water). Ages: Adult. FREE! Location: JMRL Central Branch, Jefferson Room |
Thursday, | It's Time to Write Your Novel: Many of us move through our days with wonderful stories playing in our minds. Perhaps this is your moment to get your stories onto the page—to write that book you've always dreamt of completing. Join us for an introduction to the concept, writing, and business aspects of the process to take your book from being an idea to a reality you can hold in your hands. Ages: Adult. FREE! Location: JMRL Central Branch, Madison Room Registration information coming soon! |
Wednesday, | Writing About Your Life: A Panel Discussion: Four writers associated with WriterHouse discuss the nuts and bolts of writing and publishing memoir and personal essays--from prompts to get you started, to how to find a structure, to dealing with your own emotions and those of the people you’re writing about. Ages: Adult. FREE! |
