High Intensity Interval Training for Flash Writers with Ingrid Jendrzejewski
Bring a pen, lots of paper, and your water bottle: this is a high-intensity guided-writing work-out designed to kickstart creativity, and push you into new territory, and exercise flash muscles you didn’t even know you had.
Maybe you’re stuck in a story and looking for a way to proceed. Maybe you’re looking to generate new ideas. Maybe your inner editor is holding you back. Maybe you’re in a rut or have writers’ block or are just wanting to shake things up a bit. This session is designed to tackle all these issues and help you level up your flash fitness. Writers of all backgrounds and experience levels warmly welcome; come along, roll up your sleeves, and trust the process.
