Start Your Story: Writing Workshop with Rose Whitmore

Wood River Museum of History & Culture

This workshop is for writers and aspiring writers who have a powerful story to tell but don’t know how to begin. Whether you're writing fiction, nonfiction, or just starting out, we will explore ways to create moving scenes, write captivating characters, and most importantly, put words to the blank page. The workshop will arm participants with tools to combat roadblocks, write with conviction, and leave with the creative momentum to keep going. The first hour of the workshop will focus on three short works by authors Tobias Wolff, Sandra Cisneros, and Meredith Hall (readings will be sent out to registered attendees). These readings will help writers identify and challenge their creative aesthetics while unlocking a fundamental craft element of powerful writing: what a scene is and what it contains. A lively discussion will accompany the readings. For the second hour, writers will be given two prompts followed by two 20-minute writing sessions. Writing prompts will focus on a singular image and/or scene. The goal will be to follow the heat of the moment and not let anything get in the way of the words. At the end, anyone who would like to share their work is welcome. Space is limited. ...
