Writing helps you to discover, reflectively record and observe. We all have stories, and especially during this special time, many are aching to express. Writing brings out all kinds of things that may surprise you. Writing for expression is not so much about the craft of writing, but to connect with others and allow for catharsis. In this workshop join Luminary Member, Debbie Maiocco, where we will have short writing prompts and then read to each other and share, or just listen. The sense of community and catharsis will leave you with a sense of oneness with others.
