About this course:
Most attempts to deal with writer’s block focus on the writer’s emotional state, particularly with regard to self-esteem. While these approaches have value, other weapons are available to enter one’s creativity that have nothing to do with one’s feelings. This workshop introduces six hacks to bypass writer’s block. This workshop will be built around playful exercises drawing from playground games, TV writers’ room pitch-outs, mystical consultation, and technology, among other tools. Writers will complete the workshop with an arsenal of new tools to defibrillate their creativity beyond intensive inner gazing.
