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.**

Hello everyone, I know many of you love reading comics and manga and maybe dreamed of making one yourself but are unsure how. Well, that's what we'll be doing through July, and if there's interest in August too! We'll start with the idea, showing some different comic/manga examples, then we'll be writing a little description of our comic, we'll be making our characters, personalities, character sheets+expressions, and afterward we'll make the cover, sketches and by the end, we'll make a fully digital 5-page comic as a start. I'm really excited about this, and I can't wait to meet you all too!

We will write the responses to weekly prompts. During the meeting, we will share. The focus would be on empowerment - owning your narrative. The inspirations are Project Voice https://www.projectvoice.co/, Freedom Writers http://www.freedomwritersfoundation.org/, and Writing Circles. The times and days are tentative; please, indicate the time that fits you.
