Do you like writing stories or plays but find it hard to get started, keep going, or get things finished?

In this workshop at Electric Arcade with writer and performance poet, Rachel Shorer, we'll explore your motivations and barriers to writing.

Using fun writing exercises we will strengthen your confidence in your own ability.

Each one of us has a story to tell, and each one of us has a voice. This class will help you to find it.
