Scrawl Crawl Writing Marathon

Experiment. Push your boundaries. Spark your creativity. Join the Shreveport Writing Marathon!
Write your way across Shreveport Common in coffee shops, galleries, parks, historic buildings and cemeteries—anywhere a small group can sit, write and share their work. Writing Marathons are all about writing in the moment, writing for the joy of it, and finding inspiration in the architecture, history, people, and places! Writers/participants will gather for a brief overview of the day and a continental breakfast at artspace before setting out in small groups. Participants write about anything they want in any form they wish: memoir, fiction, reflections, essay, poetry, or quick descriptive impressions and share their writing with each other without criticism. The day will end with food and drink in a celebration at artspace that evening.
