It’s time to tell your story.
Blue Star Families has partnered with Community Building Art Works (CBAW) for a free virtual creative writing workshop just for Active Duty Military, Veterans, & Military Families. Writing is a powerful tool for communication, self-discovery, and reflection. Together over Zoom, we’ll read a short piece of writing, see what makes it work, and use it to enter into our own stories. No writing experience required—if you can think, you can write.
🖊️What to Expect
- Poem Selection: Kevin chooses a thought-provoking poem.
- Interactive Participation: Read, respond, and write alongside fellow participants.
- Optional Sharing: Share your reflections and/or your work if you’d like.
- No Creative Writing Experience Required. All experience levels are welcome!
