Workshops
Writing with Empathy and Connection: Part I
Do our words really make a difference? And how can we write the things that people really need to hear? We’ll explore answers to these questions and more as we learn, discuss, interact, and practice writing copy that resonates and reflects God’s heart. The first part of the class will focus on the whys and how-tos of writing connected, conscious, relevant, and heartfelt copy for all sorts of formats. (Then we’ll start practicing this with a writing project centered around love and marriage—much like how we write at DaySpring—with background, inspiration, exercises, and interaction, with the opportunity to turn in writing at the end.) Bring a humble heart, an open mind, a notebook (or loose pages, but not a journal), and a pen or pencil.

There will be opportunity to turn in writing at the end. Bring a humble heart, an open mind, a notebook (or loose pages, but not a journal), and a pen or pencil.
