Join us for an engaging online creative writing workshop where we’ll explore the power of limitations as a tool for innovation. Through discussions, exercises, and real-world examples from literature, art, and music, we’ll discover how constraints can spark creativity and push storytelling boundaries.
From playing with form and structure to embracing external restrictions, you’ll learn to reframe limitations as opportunities for artistic growth.
We’ll draw inspiration from writers like Sheila Heti, whose novel Motherhood is structured through alphabetic diaries and interrogative writing, and Raymond Queneau, whose Exercises in Style tells the same simple story in ninety-nine different ways. By examining these works and others, we’ll uncover how constraints can be liberating rather than limiting.
Expect hands-on activities, thought-provoking examples, and a welcoming space to share and discuss your work. Whether you’re looking to expand your creative practice or simply try something new, this workshop will help you see limitations in a whole new light.
Suitable for writers of all levels.
