Often, starting a story is the hardest thing to do. In these sessions, we’ll explore tried and true techniques that will help you find a good place to begin. We’ll also discuss how beginnings are related to endings.
In combination, these are valuable techniques to overcome writer’s block and complete your work. Some time will be devoted to publishing your work.
