The Writing Exercise That Will Change Your Life!
by Adam Cece
Description
Author Adam Cece has been presenting and running workshops in schools for over a decade, and in that time he has done hundreds of writing exercises with students.
In this workshop session, he’ll talk about some of his all-time favourite writing exercises, but also about the one exercise that changed the way he writes forever.
This is a lively, interactive workshop session, designed to change the way young writers think about writing a story, and how to get into the minds of their future readers as they write, with this super simple but super effective exercise.
The goal after learning this exercise is for attendees to never have trouble starting, or finishing, a story ever again.
