This generative writing session will help writers narrow in on a significant object as a starting point for a short story. We will first discuss how writers shape their stories around specific objects and the value of objects and metaphors, read short works that masterfully take this approach, and then lay the groundwork for our own object-inspired fiction. At the end, attendees will have the opportunity to share what they've generated and discuss the writing process. 

Workshop is limited to 12 participants, so be sure to register now!
