Prescott Valley Public Library: Recalibrating Your Writing Practice, June 21st, 2025 (In Person program)- Pre-registration required.
Prescott Valley Public Library will be offering Recalibrating Your Writing Practice Workshop on June 21st, 2025. Join us for a supportive and inspiring workshop designed to help you break out of unhelpful writing routines, explore why you might feel stuck, and discover flexible, compassionate strategies to reconnect with your creative flow. Sometimes we need to do things differently in order for things to shift. If you’re finding yourself stuck in a writing routine that’s not working for you anymore, this workshop is for you! Drawing on tools from the presenter’s book, On Being Stuck: Tapping into the Creative Power of Writer’s Block, we will talk about how to build a flexible, sustainable relationship with our writing and look at various ways and reasons we might feel stuck. We’ll share strategies and learn some foundational compassionate questions to ask yourself (and your writing!) when you’re feeling frustrated. You’ll also write a thing. Or maybe two!
