WORKSHOP - Energize Your Writing Through Movement and Metaphor
Sunday August 23, 2026 2:45pm - 5:45pm CDT
Meet at OWAA Registration Desk
Feeling stuck in our writing can be rooted in boredom, especially as seasoned professionals but also for newbies who feel overwhelmed with information or pressured to sound like other writers. Using a combination of science-backed exercises to boost neurological activity and language play, writers will walk away energized with the act of writing, excited to dive back into a project that had felt stale, and smiling. The goal is to bring creativity into writing in a way that feels energized, fun, and productive.
