Join San Diego Writers for a virtual workshop! Praise be! Writers. This Sunday morning “call to workshop” is our literary version of Sunday Mass in which we’ll share communion with the page via Zoom. Our services will be in two parts—the first hour is Confession, during which we’ll respond to prompts that invite us to pen our petty penchants, fractious fragments, fabricated fictions, flights of fantasy, baffling or beautiful blasphemies—whatever might come and however it might arrive on the page. Our second hour is Praise, and again we work from prompts to express in writing our poetic avowals, lyrical incantations, laudatory epithets, creative connections, celebratory declarations, grammatical gratitude, and prayers to the page. Saints, sinners, non-believers, and writers of all denominations are invited to participate in one or both sections. Date: Dec. 26, 2021 Time: 10:00a.m.-11:30a.m. Location: Virtual Zoom Link Cost: $10-$15 For more information on this event and virtual zoom link registration please visit HERE!
