Writer's Block Bootcamp

Class Description

Facing the blank page can be a difficult and motivation-killing experience. Writer’s block can be paralyzing, and even a prolific writer may find a moment where it seems the muse has left town. This class is designed to teach you how to kick the muse in the ass and make it work on your terms.

In this interactive workshop, writers will experience a series of exercises designed to cure you of your writer’s block, demystify the writing process and teach you how to write on demand. We will discuss the main causes of writer’s block and give you a complex set of tools you can use to overcome it.

This workshop is perfect for writers of any genre looking to put the block behind them for good as well as prolific writers looking for tools to up their output.

Class Format

This class will take place in-person at our Center for Creative Writing in Boston's Seaport neighborhood.
