Do you love the ocean? Do you find it terrifying in its vast expanse and depths? Are there mysterious beings living down below? Are your characters sailors or divers or water musicians? In this fun prompt-based session, we will think and write about the sea in its many moods and guises. Come write in any genre! You'll leave with a list of stories and poems about the sea, to keep the inspiration going.
This class takes place online using the Zoom Web Conferencing platform.
