Today's lesson: a grab-bag of mini-lessons on topics you requested! We're talking tension, perspective, mechanics, and character, so come on in and have your questions ready!
If you're looking for companionship, community, and intellectual stimulation while you're isolated, come join Sophie Takagi Kaner and Kevin Vibert for a free hour-long creative writing workshop on Saturdays at 2 PM!
A big part of our goal with these workshops is to give you activities and writing games to play throughout the week with a small group of your choice. So if you have a group of friends who might be interested, get them to tune in -- and if you don't, come join us on our Discord and make some friends to group up with! If we're going to be alone, we might as well be alone together.
