When was the last time you played with LEGOs or fashioned something from Play-Doh? These exercises will help you generate new material and embed craft skills as you revise and polish your writing. If you are beginning to write, or have logged hundreds of hours in the chair, the assignments will strengthen your voice and your confidence as you write in class and at home. Gentle feedback from one another will be part of our work. The final meeting is a Celebration Supper.
