FRAA holds literary boot camp Saturday The Florence Region- al Arts Alliance (FRAA) welcomes writers of all levels and genres to “Writers on the River” for its fourth exciting year of writing workshops and literary events. This year’s programs will in- clude classes, network- ing groups, movie nights and literary salons where writers can socialize, ex- change resources and pro- mote their work. The fun begins with the “2019 Annual Writers Boot Camp” on Saturday, Jan. 19, designed to jump start your writing after the holidays. Get down to the brass tacks of creativity with this fun regimen de- signed to bring out the Navy Seal writer in you. The fourth annual Boot Camp will run from 10 a.m. to noon at FRAA Art Center, 120 Maple St. in Historic Old Town Florence. This experiential workshop is offered just once a year to help writers of all levels and genres define their goals for the new year. Taught by FRAA cre- ative writing instructor Catherine J. Rourke, the program shows writers how to unleash their true voice, develop a regular writing practice, learn tools to fuel their creativ- ity and empower their writing. Using simple techniques, writers can get back into the flow and stay there all year, with proven strategies for suc- cess. Boot Camp includes plenty of writing drills, so be prepared to drop and write 20 sentences! No two workshops are ever alike, offering a great re- fresher for prior attendees to flex their creative mus- cles. Grab your pen and ditty bag and enlist now. Classes fill up quick- ly; pre-registration is suggested. Cost: $20 for FRAA members or $25 for non-members, all payable at the door.
