Hey folks, the workshop at the Eastern Shore Community College will be returning! I did not do a virtual workshop last fall because I was immersed in hybrid learning at Pocomoke High School. My multi-genre workshop will return, beginning in late August. The folks over at the Academy for Lifetime Learning will be posting the fall schedule toot sweet. Visit them here.
In the past, I have done variations of Beating Hell to Hell, which I recently taught over at the Eastern Shore Writers Association. This fall is likely to involve some prompts, probably not generated via Dante, however.
