What to expect
We'll keep it loose and friendly. A few quick, playful prompts, plenty of time to write, and a chance to share if you feel like it. I'll walk everyone through the night when we're all together, so there's nothing to prepare and nothing to get right.
Nothing you write has to be good, finished, or read out loud. Grab a drink or a bite from the vendors there and see what shows up on the page.
If you've never written anything
You don't need a project, a plan, or the word "writer" in your bio. You need curiosity and about ninety minutes.
If you write all the time
Come loosen up. Silly prompts and a room of other people writing are a good way to shake out a stuck sentence.
