Write of Way

The Writer’s Center

Pick up dry cleaning. File tax receipts. Clean pantry. You sure love writing to-do lists.

Why not try something with a little more literary panache? A couplet, an ode, that damn screenplay you dreamed up in June.

Oh, right. You can’t hold onto your elusive inner muse and are intimidated by the whiteness of a Word doc. A workshop at The Writer’s Center in Bethesda should knock some sense into you.

Curious newbies start with Creative Writing: Getting Started. Nomadic bloggers learn self-editing (please) from Personal Essay and Travel Writing. Ambitious cubicle cats can add Business and Professional Writing to their iCals.

Stop by the open house on January 12, when workshop leaders and staff will answer your questions and motivate you to take the plunge.

Next on list: Write Great American Novel.

The Writer’s Center, 4508 Walsh Street, Bethesda (301-654-8664 or writer.org).
