Whether you are an avid writer or don’t know where to start, the Pen to Paper writing workshop is for you!
The topic for this month’s Pen to Paper is “My Alter Ego”. The class will explore scenario building, character workshopping and storytelling. Put your thinking caps on and live outside the box! What you can expect:
Morning Circle
Thought Exercises

Writing Block
Afternoon Circle - closing and debrief
We will start with a scenario-building exercise and then start building a character, this will be your alter ego, living an imaginary life. The final part of the workshop will focus on telling your character’s story. Speculative fiction is an all-encompassing genre that freely explores possibility and impossibility alike.
