Hello Writers!
We're exploring comedy today (4pm) and again in two weeks (March 23rd). If we continue to have interest in joke and comedy writing, we'll be making this a regular part of The Writer Workshop schedule.
This week, in addition to the comedy and our weekly workshops on Monday, Wednesday, and Saturday, plus prompt writing events on Tuesday and Sunday, The Writer Workshop offers its Author Platform Building on Thursday at 7 pm.
Just a reminder: Join us on Meetup for all the latest offerings and to RSVP for workshops and classes.
Enjoy the journey!

Unlock your creativity.
An inspiring guide to creativity in the digital age, Steal Like an Artist presents ten transformative principles that will help readers discover their artistic side and build a more creative life.
Nothing is original, so embrace influence, school yourself through the work of others, remix and reimagine to discover your own path. Follow interests wherever they take you—what feels like a hobby may turn into you life’s work. Forget the old cliché about writing what you know: Instead, write the book you want to read, make the movie you want to watch.
And finally, stay Smart, stay out of debt, and risk being boring in the everyday world so that you have the space to be wild and daring in your imagination and your work.
“Brilliant and real and true.”—Rosanne Cash

| | Fiction Through Prompts
The popular Fiction through Prompts. Each session includes writing to a “high end” prompt, reading our work, receiving a bit of feedback, and a short lecture on a literary device.
This weekly event allows you to step outside your box, to disrupt your usual thought process by writing to a prompt without advance thought. You hear the prompt, and then write for about 20 minutes. Participants then read their work and receive a bit of light feedback. It's an informative and sometimes transformation process.
