A Writing Plan for Hard Times

Finding the time and energy to write can be a challenge even at the best of times, but what do you do when you’re navigating burnout? Or grief? Or mental or physical challenges? When times are tough, writing can be a practice that brings healing and catharsis, but prioritizing writing can seem like an insurmountable challenge.

In this afternoon-long workshop, writer and educator W. L. Bolm will guide participants through writing exercises focusing on self exploration; we’ll explore the barriers that keep us from writing and find ways to balance creative expression and healing with our modern, busy lives. Participation in sharing your own experiences and resources to get through hard times is encouraged but not required.

By the end of this session, you’ll have a writing plan that accounts for the complexities of your life, as well as resources and strategies to lean on when you need them.
