Using Exercises to Jumpstart Your Writing and Defeat Writer's Block
Workshop Leader: Mary Crow, Colorado Poet Laureate, Mary.Crow@ColoState.edu
Enrollment Limit: 25
This workshop will present a range of writing exercises and show participants how to create their own exercises based on where they'd like their writing to be moving. The same methods can be used in the classes participants teach as well as for their own writing. Discussion will cover exercises that range in difficulty from simple to complex, beginning with list poems, wishes and lies, writing based on published poems. Model exercises will be handed out and useful resources discussed. Finally, participants will be led through two or three exercises.
