Waymakers – Women walking and writing – the three W’s flash workshop

You’d think those Romantic poet dudes held a monopoly on walking and experiencing a ‘spontaneous overflow of powerful feelings’. Good for them. 

But women have also walked and written about walking for a very long time, thank you very much. 

This interactive, one-hour workshop offers fascinating facts about women authors who loved walking, along with real live writing prompts based on our chosen walking women’s lives and works. 

So, lace up your boots and grab a pen for a footstep-filled session with walker-writer Cheryl Markosky (who gets her best ideas out stomping about, instead of staring in anguish at a blank screen).
