The Joy of Constraints
Have you ever found yourself frustrated with your writing? Unable to think of the right word or the right character behavior or the right plot twist? Have you ever feared that you’ve hit the limits of your creativity? If so, the problem is probably not with boundaries but with a lack of boundaries: the false belief that imposing any limitation on your writing options is like strangling your muse to death. In truth, the right restrictions applied in the right places at the right times can be not only liberating, but inspire creative outbursts such as you’ve never before experienced. In this fast-moving, six-week class we’ll explore this counterintuitive approach to writing, learn how to apply it to your work, and test the results to see how they play out on the page. Your muse will thank you.
