About

The goal of this series is to help improve our writing skills in a really fun way! We will meet 2 - 3 times a week for the next month or so. Most of the sessions, we will have a prompt and each of us will have 60 seconds to write about it and then we will share our writing. It's supposed to be a QUICK write, no thinking, just writing! Other writing things we will do: - You have to pitch a really terrible product to us and somehow convince us to buy it - We each write one sentence and then give our writing to someone else to build upon and see the story at the end! - 60 seconds to write about a random thing - Writing a full story (plot, arc, etc.) in under 10 minutes - Generate a random phrase and make a story out of it - Generate a random first/last phrase and our stories have to start/end with the phrase! + A ton more activites we'll do The sessions will be pretty short (20 - 40) minutes long depending on what we are doing that day, it's supposed to a fun way we can come together! **Microphones MUST be on; we will be sharing out stories with each other, etc.**
