I’d love to see you there!
FESTIVAL OF FAITH & WRITING 2024 | Getting Unstuck: Strategies for Hesitant Writers | Morning Half Day Workshop |Wednesday, April 10 - 9am to 12pm | Tuition: $85
Too often, those of us who want to write struggle against the blockades in our own heads: Writing is selfish. I'm not smart enough. I don't have enough followers. There's laundry to do. Some of us are overwhelmed with the stories burning holes in our hearts but don't know how or where to begin writing them.
Then there are those who would rather do anything other than write: elementary students just learning to read, middle school students who insist they hate to write, college students who are only taking Freshman English because they have to.
Using picture books, poetry, newspaper articles, writing prompts and discussion, veteran teacher and writer Callie Feyen will share strategies to help writers in both of these groups get unstuck.
Whether you feel like you are stuck yourself, or you’re a teacher who wants to help your students, you’ll walk away with a toolbox of reading and writing tips, and a renewed belief that even when writing is not easy, we all have stories to share.
