From mobile phones to Netflix, we’re surrounded daily by constant distraction. Everywhere something shiny is just waiting to take us traipsing down rabbit trails. Yet writing requires focus, even solitude—two things that can be scarce in our 24x7 world. In this workshop we’ll discuss tips and tricks for carving out and protecting time for creativity, how to write in the midst of the crazy, and how to avoid the pitfalls of distraction so you can reach your writing goals. Join current Writer in Residence Amy Nichols and incoming Writer in Residence Joe Nassise for a dynamic program. Open to both adults and teens!
