“If you’re afraid you can’t write, the answer is to write." (Richard Rhodes)

Want to write, but not sure where to start? Or maybe you have some experience, but you feel like you're running low on new ideas or inspiration? This workshop is for you!

We'll try out some freewriting prompts designed to generate material you can use for fiction, poetry, or creative nonfiction, along with collaborative and solo exercises.

The focus for this workshop is on producing raw material and learning ways to un-stick your creativity, in an informal and judgment-free zone. 

No prior writing experience required: amateurs and beginners welcome! Materials and supplies provided.

Facilitated by Erik Schuckers, Center for Creativity: The Workshop. Erik is a Pushcart Prize and Best of the Net nominee whose writing has appeared in Clockhouse, PANK, Impossible Archetype, Chelsea Station, and elsewhere. 

This workshop is free and open to all members of the University of Pittsburgh community: students, faculty, and staff.  Pre-registration is required.
