WRITER'S BLOCK @ GRAPEVINE PUBLIC LIBRARY
​1201 Municipal Way, Grapevine, Tx. 76051​
Save the date!! We're excited to announce our first Writers Bloc guest of 2026, Ben Pluenneke. This session covers the essentials of screenwriting—format, visual storytelling, and building purposeful scenes. We’ll also explore short and micro scripts (1–5 pages), with time for participants to draft and share their own work. We'll introduce practical tools, writing habits, and structure concepts drawn on story fundamentals. The goal is to give writers clear, usable skills they can apply immediately.
