* Tuesday, June 13, 1:30pm - 3:30pm

Let's make time to write together. Britta Stromeyer Esmail will share a brief writing craft lesson and a piece of another author’s work to inspire you. She will then offer a prompt related to that lesson and you will have time to sit and write.

During this two-hour workshop Britta will inspire you to stay connected to your creative mind as you work on a new prompt every 10-15 minutes. It's like speed-dating for writers (without the date!) There will be plenty of time for sharing at the end. Time to write!
