Play as a Creative Strategy (Not a Distraction) Workshop with Marnette Falley

In our busy lives, we so often feel the seriousness of our world and our work and our responsibilities. The things we do just because and just for fun can easily get squeezed out. In this session, we’ll help participants evaluate their current play status, talk about play styles, normalize the need for play and help participants build a play plan that will fuel their creative lives. Participants will walk away with new awareness about how play fuels their work and a personal list of ideas about where they might lean into play more.

This session is part of the 2026 Writers Conference. Register for this two-day event.
