WRITING CENTER WORKSHOP
WAYS INTO WRITING: STRATEGIES FOR GETTING STARTED OR UNSTUCK (SEC. 1 – FOR GRAD STUDENTS)
Do you freeze up when confronting a blank screen? Do you get stuck in the middle of a draft or when trying to revise? You’re not alone! This workshop, co-sponsored by the Writing Center and the McBurney Disability Resource Center, will teach strategies for moving past writer’s block, generating ideas, organizing your thoughts, and taking your draft to the next level during the revision process. Strategies we will explore include mind mapping, freewriting, using speech-to-text tools, envisioning alternate audiences, and even drawing. If you are currently working on or about to start a writing project, please bring your materials to the workshop (though this is not required!).
Sec. 1 (for graduate students)
