Prescott Valley Public Library will be hosting a workshop on Transforming Writer’s Block with author Laraine Herring on Monday, May 4, 2026, from 12-2PM. Join us to draw on tools from the presenter’s book, On Being Stuck: Tapping into the Creative Power of Writer’s Block, we will talk about what writer’s block is and isn’t, share strategies, and learn some foundational compassionate questions to ask yourself when you’re feeling frustrated. If you’re finding yourself stuck in a writing routine that’s not working for you anymore, or if you’re lost in all the possibilities your work-in-progress can become, then this workshop is for you. Let’s clear the cobwebs and make space for story! This gentle, generative workshop will help you remember that writing happens when we write, so let’s spend a little time doing just that—together.
Please bring writing materials and be prepared to write.Laraine Herring is a retired professor of creative writing and psychology. Her memoir, A Constellation of Ghosts: A Speculative Memoir with Ravens, was released from Regal House in 2021. She’s also the author of a trilogy of writing books, including Writing Begins with the Breath, the editor of Becoming Real: Women Reclaim the Power of the Imagined through Speculative Nonfiction, and the author and illustrator for The Grief Forest: a book about what we don’t talk about, and The Grief Carnival: a book about loving what is leaving.
