How do you draw on your own life to tell a fictional tale? In this workshop, we'll use generative prompts to weave your true experiences in and around imaginary ones. Everyone's life, no matter how seemingly prosaic, is full of rich material to inspire wonderful short stories. Let's get inspired and write some stories!
This class takes place online using the Zoom Web Conferencing platform.
