How to Get Writing (online)

Teacher: Elana Bregin

Cost: Donation to support BRC during the COVID-19 lockdown

Dates: Saturday 30 May 2020 - Saturday 30 May 2020

I saw the angel in the marble and carved until I set him free - Michaelangelo

Like all good voyages, the writing journey is not about arriving, but the pleasure of exploring. In this one-hour webinar, we focus the zoom lens on getting ourselves into the Write zone. We put out the welcome mat, shake loose some ideas, and get over our fear of flying - to set our stories free.
Bring pen and notebook. Coffee/tea mugs welcome.

Time: 11:00-12:00pm
