Are you stuck in a creative rut? Need an injection of fun to get your fictioneering wheels turning again?
Roll for your writing initiative with Nebula and Stoker Award winning author, Nina Kiriki Hoffman, and write a magical holiday story!
This kicks off the first of a new series: Write Club for Grown Ups! We’re opening up our popular youth Write Club series for adults: (Because grown ups need clubs and fun too!)
In this fun-filled Thursday evening, Nina, writer and Game Master extraordinaire, will provide a ton of fun story possibilities.
You’ll roll the dice (you can bring your own, or use some of Nina’s) to collect ingredients to create three characters, roll again for plot elements to incorporate, and then start writing something magical, exploring winter holiday happenings, supernatural beings, and strange events!
Get ready to enter a super creative space with other writers and write a tale that has never before been heard.
Leave with a story you can share with your family in the light of the solstice moon, while the latkes are settling, for a festivus grievance, as the kinara candles melt, before the sugar plums dance above their heads, or by the light of a flashlight!
