EMERGING
Summary:
This workshop will explore the ways rules are present in all our writing, and how a better understanding of these rules allows us to bend them, break them, or create our own with which to replace them. Offering a brief overview of constrained and experimental writing, participants in the workshop will be guided through a number of experimental techniques that can help to combat writers block or find a new perspective on a piece. Suitable for writers of poetry, fiction or non-fiction – anyone who wants to push their craft in unexpected directions.

Inhibiting, strict writing is fixing things, inspiring ink-rich scribbles.

Workshop how to control words for good books, or poor books, too.
-
Thus, shun such glum pulp; stunts usurp dumbstruck schmucks, pumps up lungs.
