Writing the Hard Stuff with Sheryl St. Germain (virtual writing workshop)

A virtual creative writing workshop for all levels that will give you eight
tools to help you to write memoirs or poems that deal with loss, grief,
tragedy, substance abuse, shame, regret—all the things we sometimes find it
hard to write genuinely and in a way that will draw readers in. For this
two-hour workshop you’ll generate several small (under 100 words)
pieces—either prose or poetry—using one or more of the writing strategies
we’ll discuss. You may choose to share parts of your writing with the
class, but it’s not a requirement. At the end of the class you’ll also take
with you a list of the strategies as well as published examples so that you
can continue your writing journey on your own.
