Writing with Constraints is a four-week creative adventure designed to help you discover the freedom hidden within limits. Each session explores different forms of self-imposed limitation, from texts that avoid particular letters, and poems shaped to follow a strict word count, to inventive responses to paintings, or unconventional formats. Each week, you will write, share (if comfortable), reflect, and discuss, transforming constraints into creative tools that allow you to write better, more consciously, and with way more fun! You will discover how constraints can challenge habits and elevate your language, and learn to set (and bend) rules to suit your voice. Guided by prompts, group discussions, and peer feedback, you’ll develop a portfolio of a minimum of eight pieces. Whether you are a poet, storyteller, or simply looking for creative fun, Writing with Constraints will help you see writing as a space of endless invention. If you are curious about how structure can unleash creativity, then this course is for you!
