Writing from The Heart

"Writing from The Heart" is a workshop on creative writing, creative drawing, and creative drama. There are three available versions of this workshop: one for beginners on the secondary, tertiary, and graduate levels, and another for practitioners. A third version of this workshop is designed as an outreach program to disadvantaged and underserved audiences such as the disabled, the poor and the marginalized, victims of human trafficking, battered women and abused children, drug rehabilitation center residents, child combatants, children in conflict with the law, prisoners, and gang leaders. This third version incorporates creativity and problem awareness, conflict resolution, crisis intervention, trauma therapy, and peacemaking.

Writing specialty stores are reviving and selling old-fashioned manual typewriters. Quite tempting to buy one, but it would be more decorative than functional for me because supplies such as ribbons, carbon paper, circle erasers with brushes, and correcting tape are no longer as available. (I even remember that I used to have two-color ribbons!)
