Creativity and a Sense of Place

 

Creativity and a Sense of Place workshop

Creativity and a Sense of Place workshop

 

As part of the Literally Salem Festival, I led a workshop for writers on Saturday exploring the ways in which a sense of place and creativity intersect. We looked at several aspects of this pairing: where you write, where you live, places you know, and places that live in your imagination. It was great to have so many people participate and share their experiences of writing and location.

For one exercise, I gave out a handout designed to spark the creative process. You can get a copy by clicking here Worksheet handout PDF.

    What a wonderful way for writers to explore their own sense of place! And very generous of you to share the resource. Thanks for sharing your ideas about creativity, as well as for The Lace Reader, which captured both place and character so beautifully.
