Upcoming Getting Unstuck: Recovering from Writer’s Block on Saturday, October 17th from 12:30-2:30 (Taught by KC and Elizabeth, Taught In the Classroom, $12))

Every writer gets stuck sometimes. If you’re staring at a blank page, struggling through the messy middle of a story, or feeling creatively drained, this workshop is designed to help you move forward. You’ll participate in fun writing exercises, creative prompts, and guided discussions. We’ll explore practical ways to spark ideas, develop characters, and get back that creative spark in your writing.

Together, we’ll experiment with storytelling techniques, embrace imperfect first drafts, and learn strategies for writing when you are just stuck. No experience is necessary; the workshop is open to writers of all levels. Bring your favorite pen. We’ll provide a starter journal and a pencil. You just need to be willing to play, explore, and see where the words take you.

When: Saturday, October 17, 2026, 12:30–2:30 am. Join us immediately following the workshop for a free author reading with other authors from The Local Artisan Collective.
