Writer, musician and fiddler, Ken Waldman, will host a writing workshop and informal jam session with participants.

The Workshop - FOUR PROMPTS: THE BEGINNING OF FOUR NEW STORIES OR POEMS

“The more you write, the luckier you get--and each time you start a piece, there's an opportunity to get luckier than ever. The trick is getting started. Here, you'll not only begin four new pieces, but will learn strategies to begin many more. The two-hour session is open to writers and storytellers of all levels and experience. Both beginning and seasoned writers and storytellers will leave with something new they'll be happy to have started.”

Following the workshop, Ken will share a few short poems and stories, play a fiddle tune or two, and open it up for both a Word Jam and Music Jam.
