Orlando Word Lab

This is a writing workshop that meets on the 4th Wednesday of every month at the Winter Park Library. We focus on learning a new technique or method each month. A guest speaker will share a sample of their work and then give a writing prompt for everyone to follow.

We'll all write for 30 minutes, and then share our work with others, and receive helpful suggestions about what to improve. Bring your laptops, tablets, a notebook and pen, and a willingness to learn.

This month, John King will present six ways to block writer’s block, for those lucky few with time and health enough to write. One of these skills will be used to create a new work at this meeting of Wordlab.

John King is the host of the creative writing podcast, The Drunken Odyssey, as featured on “best of” lists by Book Riot and The Millions. His novel, Guy Psycho and the Ziggurat of Shame, was published by Beating Windward Press in 2019. John’s work also appears in the anthologies 15 Views of Orlando, Other Orlandos, and Condoms and Hot Tubs Don’t Mix, as well as in journals, such as Gargoyle, Burrow Press Review, Autofocus Lit, and Ghost Parachute.
