Hungry for Words: Shifting Your Perspective to Improve Your Creative Drive
Is your blog feeling a bit stale? Do you find yourself writing similar posts? Or, do you just feel you could just it so much better. In this very special four-hour special session, longtime writing teacher Kathleen Flinn will lead you through a series of exercises to help you take a fresh perspective on your own work. The afternoon include practical advice on strategies to reinvigorate your voice and your creative approach. Tactics will include learning to conduct interviews to add authority to your stories, strengthening your power of observation, how to add traditional storyteller tricks into even the most mundane of head notes and tips on how the right bit of research can elevate anyone's work. We'll end with an hour of wine, cheese, and socializing.
Join us at Hugo House on Sunday, September 20 from 2 - 7pm.

About the teacher:
Kathleen Flinn is a New York Times bestselling author and noted speaker, teacher and founder of the innovative food writing program, Hungry for Words. She is best known for The Sharper Your Knife, the Less You Cry (Viking/Penguin), about her experiences earning a Diplome de Cuisine from Le Cordon Bleu in Paris. Her acclaimed follow-up, The Kitchen Counter Cooking School (Viking/Penguin), earned rave reviews from dozens of media outlets, including People, The Wall Street Journal and Associated Press and was named a 2012 Non-Fiction Book of the Year by the American Society of Journalists & Authors. Her latest title, Burnt Toast Makes You Sing Good (Viking/Penguin), she investigated the source of her own inspiration in the kitchen by looking into three generations of cooks in her humble Midwest family roots. Along with the recipes, canning, fishing and hunting, she uncovered unexpected stories of charity and generosity, bigamy and bootlegging and crafed what Kirkus Reviews has dubbed a "warm, poignant treat."
