WRITE ON!: Creative Business Writing Workshop

Sandy Bjorgen, IMPROV-able Results

Presenter / Facilitator: Sandy Bjorgen, IMPROV-able Results

Overcome writer's block or self-consciousness or the "hitting the send button too soon" syndrome! Write for fun. Write for work. Develop original material. Say what you mean. Learn to separate the creating stage from the critiquing stage, so you can get out of your own way and allow your inner creative genius to emerge.

Practice exercises that will help you generate new material quickly - whether for stories, presentations, letters, email, newsletters, journals, articles, or other business-related documents.

Draft and craft in a supportive small group.

You'll have the opportunity, if you wish, to:

1) create just for yourself

2) create and share

3) receive feedback from others

4) develop a keener eye for editing
