Looking for a Muse Booster?

   Posted by: Faith   in Rye Thoughts

It’s (sort-of) the start of a new year, and as inspiring as that is, it doesn’t necessarily mean that all those stories we’ve been working on will magically come together and the characters will start behaving the way they should.

So, why not re-inspire your Muse with a workshop or two?

Now, I’ll give a little disclaimer here: I love learning. I’m listing these workshops for you because I suspect you might like learning too, not because I’m getting any kickbacks for mentioning them (I wish!).

If I don’t have one listed here that you’re planning on taking, let us know about it!

Or maybe there’s something completely different that you wish someone would hold a workshop on, but you can never seem to find… I’ll keep my eyes open for it! :)
