Description: Life is a short short story with explosive simmering. Reflect on your year. Did time stretch out like bubblegum? What made you simmer? What made you explode? What made you, you? Was it a God, or a phenomenon in the sky, or a habit, or an obsession, or a crutch? A new love, an old love? Was it a marathon run, or leaves falling off the trees, or a coastal European country? Was it someone's laughter hitting like a crack of lightning?

Description: Forget what you should write for someone else. What do you need to write for you? This session will inspire you to explore your creativity and authenticity not just as a writer, but as a person, with an evocative writing exercise designed to find the story that we can’t help but write — or else it will write us.

Description: How is that children are able to talk and write about emotions and life subjects — sadness, death, love, responsibility, aging, family, loneliness, and refuge — in ways that are fresh, bizarre, and surprising? It’s because by our teenage years, we have learned how “normal people” express themselves, and we regurgitate it back in a series of familiar language constellations. Based on an article from the poet Hannah Gamble, we will practice unlearning how we talk and write about the world to emotionally affect a well-seasoned reader.
