Warren-Newport Public Library

The Flex, Clevertouch

Learn how to bust through writer's block and finish your story.

Do you suffer from writer’s block? Learn how to get unstuck by using music to paint vivid pictures in your brain. Whether you’re crafting novels, screenplays, video game scripts, or D&D campaigns, join this high-energy, interactive workshop designed for all kinds of storytellers. Unleash your imagination and experience the art of storytelling like never before!

Sara will be available for one-on-one questions beginning at 6:00PM.

Sara Fujimura started as a journalist, so it is no surprise that her young adult romance books contain a lot of fact to go along with the fiction.  She relishes in taking readers on swoony journeys to unusual places.  She is the author of Tanabata Wish, Breathe, Faking Reality, and Every Reason We Shouldn't, which was named one of NPR's best books of 2020.
