Teen Creative Writing Workshop

Imagine yourself on the page!

Join us for fun and helpful story prompts and writing exercises. Unstick your imagination with us!

Do you want to write a novel, a story, a poem, or even a Sonic the Hedgehog fan fiction? Do you have trouble getting your words on paper? If you are a teen between the ages of 13-19, join us in the media lab at Wheaton Library! Meet other aspiring teen writers and respond to  wacky, zany, thought-provoking writing prompts and exercises! Don't know what a writing prompt is? Join us anyway and find out!

Last month we explored the creative writing element of setting.

For August, we will talk about conflict.  Don't like conflict? Who does? That's why we write about it rather than doing it! Conflict is the central struggle that drives the narrative. It can be internal (Character vs. Self) or external (Character vs. Character, Society, Nature, Fate, etc.) Imagine how much better the world would be if we all just wrote about it! 

Join us as we express our conflicts through the written word, for a more peaceful world!

It will be fun, and we might have snacks!
