This series of workshops is an opportunity to begin writing a short story, play or novel. We will explore how to develop ideas, characters, conflict and setting in a dramatic structure that will hold your reader’s attention.

Activities
The morning is structured to build writing skills through instruction, practice, writing prompts, and games. After lunch, ÌÇÐÄ´«Ã½ will have time for independent writing projects: short stories, 10-minute plays, or poetry. If you have a story in progress, you can continue it in this class.
