Many writers start from the analytical side of their brain without realizing it—the part that organizes, critiques, and controls. It’s useful for refinement but can stifle the spark of creation. This workshop helps you toggle into the intuitive, sensory mode where imagination, rhythm, and emotional truth live. You’ll learn how to quiet mental chatter, reconnect with feeling, and translate that inner movement directly onto the page. It’s not about fixing mechanics—it’s about writing from a fuller state of awareness so that your work sounds alive instead of engineered. San Diego Writers, Ink on Facebook / Instagram
