Age Group: 18+
Level: All
Facilitator: Dr. La Juan Hines-Rome
This engaging two-hour session builds on your journaling practice. It introduces you to the process of transforming personal reflections and ideas from your journal into the foundation of a novel. You’ll take the first step toward crafting your unique story through creative exercises, group discussions, and hands-on activities.
The purpose of this workshop is to guide participants in translating their journaling practice into a creative writing process. By the end of the session, you’ll have a clearer understanding of how to use your journal as a springboard for your creative writing, and you’ll have started crafting the framework of your unique story.
To make the most of this workshop, participants must bring a written journal entry that explores a theme, idea, or experience they are passionate about. This entry, regardless of its length, will serve as a solid foundation for transforming one’s thoughts into the framework of a story. This ensures that participants are prepared to engage in creative activities and begin crafting their novel ideas during this workshop.“
