Week 4
Inspiration & Collaboration
Welcome to Week 4 of our writing workshop! This week, we’ll focus on inspiration and collaboration, two key elements that have shaped our growth as writers. We’ll reflect on the people who have inspired us along the way—whether it's mentors, peers, or even personal experiences that have sparked our creativity. But we’re also shifting gears a bit this week by breaking into smaller groups to collaborate more closely. Working together, we can share ideas, provide feedback, and inspire each other in ways that make our writing stronger. Collaboration brings new perspectives, and the energy from brainstorming and exchanging thoughts can help us push beyond our limits and find new directions. Let’s take advantage of this opportunity to learn from each other and see where our collective creativity can take us!
