Dissolving the Barrier of Writer's Block

Have you ever experienced writer's block? Welcome to the club! In this workshop, we will explore what writer's block is and learn why and how it becomes a powerful barrier to one's writing practice. In this interactive session, you will have a chance to identify the source(s) of your writer's block and develop a personal ritual for acknowledging and getting beyond that block.

This workshop will include writing sprints, so bring your favorite writing implements, whether it's a charged laptop or pen and paper. Please also bring a symbol that represents your identity as a writer.

Hosted by our Writer-in-Residence, M. Kate Allen. M. Kate Allen is the award-winning author of numerous books, essays, short stories, and poems. She writes the Sticky Ones series, a series of spooky, standalone books for middle readers. Some of her other works include Memory Stands (adult fiction), Playing Gauche (YA fiction), and The Thean Psalter.
