This workshop will talk about the real-life experience of having a day job and pursuing art, how to manage time and get the most out of every day. The instructor of this workshop is the author of nine books, most recently Teenager, a novel from Tyrant Books, as well as a short story collection Double Bird from Maudlin House, and a memoir about the intersection of creativity, family, and having a demanding day job.
