Flirting with Imagination

with RJ Thesman

Thursday, April 11 at 7 p.m., CST

What does it mean if someone says, ‘You have such an active imagination?”

As writers, we use our imagination whether we’re working on the plotlines for a novel, creating dialogue in a memoir, or putting together our initial Table of Contents. So what are some of the ways we can build our imagination by jumpstarting creative techniques? How can we strengthen our imagination into a stronger force?

Join us on April 11th as RJ Thesman presents “Flirting with Imagination”—an interactive workshop using tools to boost imagination and foster creativity. Examples include: Successful Incubating, Freewriting, Questioning Conventional Wisdom, Using the Anastrophe, etc. Add new ideas to your craft that will delight your readers and possibly cause a magazine editor to say, “I want that manuscript.”

RJ Thesman is the author of 26 books and 800+ articles. Her work is included in 14 anthologies, including five Chicken Soup books. Thesman is a Certified Writing Coach who loves to help other writers birth their words. She is listed in the ‘Who’s Who of Professional Women’ and also holds a Bachelor of Science degree in Education. Thesman is a Stephen minister, a biblical counselor, and an ordained deacon. She enjoys teaching workshops, speaking, gardening, and cooking—especially anything with blueberries.

A Community Of Writers

From HACWN’s start in 1989, we’ve offered monthly HACWN monthly meetings. On the second Thursday of each month, we meet at Colonial Presbyterian Church (Quivira Campus) on the south side of the Metro Kansas City Area.

Meetings feature practical workshops covering various writing styles or other information helpful to the writer’s life. And each meeting is led by those who are experienced in their fields.

As an added benefit . . . you’ll meet plenty of people who think like you and share your aspirations and dreams—and are willing to help you achieve your goals. So meetings are not only instructional, but provide fellowship and community and inspiration to keep you writing.

Join Us!

We would love for you to join us at our next monthly meeting!
