Series Details
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.**

About the Tutor

Hey everyone, I'm Pranav, a junior from Virginia! I've loved math and programming since middle school, so why not tutor them? If you don't find me binge-watching YouTube, then you'll find me out on a volleyball or tennis court (my 2 favorite sports!). I hope I'll get the chance to meet you guys in some of my sessions! Take a look at my programming portfolio: https://pranavkonjeti.com
