Field Trips & Hidden Portals: Finding Inspiration in the Everyday
We dream of productive writing sessions, but the reality is that work and tasks often overshadow. What if you could gather the pieces for your next literary masterpiece in the everyday? In this generative class, we will (re)learn to open our eyes, send you on local outings (grocery stores, parks, thrift stores, your own closets), and build a tool kit that turns the messy world into that dreamy writing office.
