Are you stuck with a blank page and wondering what to write next? Is your stubborn character refusing to give up secrets? During this presentation, attendees will be introduced to, learn, and practice different methods of freewriting to generate ideas at the beginning of projects and to unlock writer’s block in the middle of projects. We will discuss character interviews, Julie Cameron’s Morning Pages exercise, and freewriting from the participants’ childhood world using maps.
Attendees will learn how to mine their own experiences for story ideas, how to have fun with words, how to use writing to help push through writer’s block, and how to fill pages so that they can reduce writing anxiety and begin their stories.
