Free Writing Practice (In-Person) – Fall 2024

Join us at the community table in the light-filled reference room where we’ll be inspired to write from rotating prompts. We’ll do a few short-timed writing sessions designed to help you get your pen moving while shutting down your inner critic. After each timed session, writers will read their new work aloud to nonjudgmental listeners who will let you know which words or images resonated with them. This zen-like practice originated in Natalie Goldberg’s Writing Down the Bones.

Melissa Bell-Pitts’s work has been selected as finalists in the Next Great Writers Contest and the Kentucky Women Writers Conference’s Betty Gabehart Prize.

This class is suitable for all levels.
