SUMMARY:Writing Great Essays with Shawna Ayoub (via Zoom)
DESCRIPTION:I hesitated for years about trying my hand at creative writing\, convinced I was not actually “a Writer” because if I were\, I’d have written a book or something already. . . I had no idea that there were concrete exercises you could do to prod your creativity and get your imagination flowing\, and I was often surprised at what I came up with!  Shawna created a safe\, supportive\, encouraging space in which to step out on a limb and try. It was challenging\, fun\, rewarding\, and totally worthwhile! \n— Elaine\nIn this workshop\, we will dive into the tenets of what makes a great essay\, troubleshoot writer’s block\, and work on enhancing our essays at the sentence level. Our aim will be to generate a framework for developing or already-written essays in order to better understand our own goals for the finished product. Whether you are seeking information about essay writing or trying to heighten your already-written essay\, this workshop is for you. \nWriters will take home a packet of writing examples  as well as prompts\, and can contact Shawna for written feedback within two weeks of this workshop. \nLeader: Shawna Ayoub is a brown\, queer\, Durham-based writer and instructor whose work prioritizes the engagement of difficult topics. After recognizing the personal benefits of writing for release and recovery\, she has made her practice public for the last 12 years\, offering courses independently as well as through the Center for Creative Writing. Her work has appeared in Verywell Mind\, Survivor Lit\, Exit 7\, [wherever]\, The Archipelago\, and The Manifest-Station. Learn more about Shawna here. \nCost: $75\, $100. Scholarships available. Please contact info@rcwms.org. \nRegister below. Registrants will receive a Zoom link in the automated ticket confirmation.
