Do you want to improve your writing skills for work? Write a poem to your beloved or finish that family memoir? Or maybe you have considered writing a script? If so, come join us for this 6-week writer's workshop where we will explore a variety of writing genres. In this session, we will be taking some time to address the concepts of Time and Place in our stories, poems, and plays. More specifically, how do they impact the scenes that unfold and the images we create, in both our earliest, developing rough drafts and in our more polished, almost-final revisions?
