If you fell off the writing wagon or constantly feel blocked due to stress, uncertainty, or just not wanting to due to *gestures* All This and ready to try and get back to it, this unworkshop is for you. Play a no-pressure writing game with me and author Alethea Kontis to spark your imagination and get words on paper again.
