How to Overcome Your Fear of the Empty White Page

Learning to write means learning to trust your own imagination, observation, memory and experience. In this 3-hour workshop led by journalist and author Eleni Xenou, we will explore all of these areas through writing exercises so that we can find our own authentic fictional voice and point of view. Most importantly, we will learn to free ourselves from ingrained ways of looking and find our own writer’s gaze. Because writing is a journey of self-discovery, of finding and defining things you didn't know about yourself and the world and your place in the world. Participants should bring a laptop or a pad and pen. If possible, also please bring an old family photo (preferably black and white.)
