I have been approved to partner with the Las Vegas-Clark CountyLibrary District to offer a series of in-person free writing workshops at the Blue Diamond Library! These are open to the public, free, and will happen on the first Wednesday of the month (excluding August) from 12:30 pm to 2 pm through October 1, 2025.

This isn't your typical writing class. Rather than facing a blank page trying to share something we already know, we'll dive into the unknown. We'll release the inner critic, along with worries about punctuation, grammar, and eloquence. When we allow our words to flow freely - without trying to perfect them - we begin to trust our natural voice, effortlessly. Whether you're a seasoned writer or a total newbie, this space is for you. Curious? Come try it out! Your invited to one or all!

Counts as a Summer Challenge Activity.

Scheduled dates:

* May 7, 2025, 12:30 pm to 2 pm
* June 4, 2025, 12:30 to 2 pm
* July 2, 2025, 12:30 to 2 pm
* Sept. 3, 2025, 12:30 to 2 pm
* Oct. 1, 2025, 12:30 to 2 pm

Free and Open to the Public.
