With writer and educator Lucy E.M. Black
Using physical objects to anchor your narrative is a powerful way to bypass writer's block and build rich, concrete details. Designed for beginners, this artifact-based workshop uses meaningful objects as a starting point for writing. Learn the basic elements of short story writing through guided exercises, then begin shaping your own story with personal feedback and encouragement.
