Find Your Lightning: Generative Writing
Live Training with TJ Price.
About This Training
This session is a mix of lecture and workshop focused on overcoming creative paralysis through generative writing techniques. Many writers feel overwhelmed by the endless possibilities of what they could write, which often results in writer’s block. This class explores how constraints and focused prompts can help break through that block and spark new ideas.
Participants will engage in writing exercises during the session, including methods inspired by the OULIPO literary group (such as lipograms) and prompts from resources like The 3 A.M. Epiphany by Brian Kiteley. The broader theme of the class is inspiration—where it comes from, how to find it, and how to stay excited about the writing process.
