Writer’s Block Detox | Spring 2026 series

Writer’s Block Detox Series (5-weeks) | Saturdays, April 18 – May 16 

11AM – 1:30PM 

Some writers are introverts, while others are willing to jump right in. However, all writers have one thing in common: writer’s block. During this unconventional detox, we’ll provide various exercises to break the dreaded block we all face. Did someone say acapella singers? A photo-walking tour? Yes, we did. We’ll use the unconventional to break a habit, and establish a new one to help you move through (or to) the next act, chapter, page, or phase of your draft. The series will commence with a group project to be shared with the class and inspire others. Furthermore, we’ll encourage writers to form an alliance, as writing solo is never fun! So, what are you waiting for? It’s time for a detox!

When: SAT (5-Weeks) April 18-May 16 | 11AM-1:30PM
