Program Description

Event Details

Prescott Valley Public Library will be offering Recalibrating Your Writing Practice Workshop on June 21st, 2025. Join us for a supportive and inspiring workshop designed to help you break out of unhelpful writing routines, explore why you might feel stuck, and discover flexible, compassionate strategies to reconnect with your creative flow.

Sometimes we need to do things differently in order for things to shift. If you’re finding yourself stuck in a writing routine that’s not working for you anymore, this workshop is for you! Drawing on tools from the presenter’s book, On Being Stuck: Tapping into the Creative Power of Writer’s Block, we will talk about how to build a flexible, sustainable relationship with our writing and look at various ways and reasons we might feel stuck. We’ll share strategies and learn some foundational compassionate questions to ask yourself (and your writing!) when you’re feeling frustrated. You’ll also write a thing. Or maybe two! 

Laraine Herring has an MFA in Creative Writing and an MA in Counseling Psychology. She is a tenured professor of psychology and creative writing at Yavapai College and has been teaching since 1993. She has conducted webinars for Corporeal Writing, Creative Nonfiction Magazine, Phoenix Author’s Group and more, and has earned grants through the Arizona Artists Roster.

Pre-registration is required.
