The Maydays Writing Weekender

Do you fancy yourself as a writer? Good. This is an improv workshop AND a writing workshop.

Generate ideas through improv, explore, extrapolate then explore some more.

I WILL MAKE YOU WRITE STUFF. And, I WILL MAKE YOU SHARE IT. It's for your own good. Expect to leave with the beginnings of stories and the motivation to write them up.
