Clare Jones will host a generative workshop that will offer a chance to writers of all genres to connect both sides of their brains. Together, we will play a few rounds of BOGGLE, to get ideas for topics and words that all share sounds. Then we'll build paragraphs, poems, and other pieces of writing from what we discover together.
