Description
Instructor
This generative writing workshop will explore ways nature can shape your story world, grow your characters, and enhance your narrative in children’s writing. Each class will feature writing exercises and lessons on elements of story and plot. You’ll heighten your senses and get plugged into the natural world with child-like wonder. You’ll leave this course with more tools, new pages, and more confidence to grow the wild story that you want to create. Nature is our constant inspiration!
