Monroe Arts Alliance Sponsors Free Creative Writing Workshops
The
Monroe
Arts
Alliance
is
sponsoring
free
creative
writing
workshops
in
Alderson
on
Nov.
12
at
the
Alderson Presbyterian Church and Nov. 15 at the Monroe County Public Library in Union.
The
Alderson
workshop
runs
10
a.m.
to
noon.
The
workshop
in
Union
is
scheduled
from
10:30
a.m.
to
12:30 p.m. The public is invited to both workshops.
“There
are
so
many
stories
worth
sharing,”
said
workshop
leader
Belinda
Anderson.
She
will
show
how
to
turn
experience
and
imagination
into
the
written
word.
Those
new
to
the
writing
experience
will
learn
how
to
develop
ideas
into
short
narratives,
and
those
already
writing
will
discover
techniques
for
honing
their
skills.
Participants
will
leave
with
material
for
their
own
projects
and
possible
entries
for
an
upcoming
volume of the Monroe County Tales, sponsored by the alliance.
Volumes
I
and
II
of
the
Monroe
County
Tales
are
small,
hand-crafted
books
featuring
stories
by
winners
of
writing
contests
sponsored
by
the
alliance.
Many
of
the
stories
offer
glimpses
into
Monroe
County’s
rich
heritage, while others give insight into the places, people, and events of the area.
Anderson,
a
Monroe
County
native,
is
the
author
of
four
books
for
young
people
and
adults
who
draws
on
her Appalachian heritage for inspiration. She makes presentations throughout the state.
Bring a notebook and pen and enjoy a day of creativity.
