Writing the Scary Stuff<\/span><\/em><\/strong><\/h2>\n

Free Event (Part of June in Jackson Heights<\/a><\/em>)
\nLeader: Richard Jeffrey Newman<\/a><\/p>\n

All writers face the problem of writing about what scares them. It might be frightening because it is embarrassing or shameful, because it feels too personal, because it might offend loved ones. It might be frightening because it violates religious or other moral\/ethical taboos, because it humanizes or makes comprehensible that which many believe should remain beyond comprehension, because it gives voice to people or ideas that have been silenced. Whatever the source of the fear, we should not allow it to dictate what we can and cannot write. In this workshop, we will practice some strategies for dealing with material that frightens us.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n
