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!

For October, we are trying something new for Myths and Mysteries Month! Did you know that October was officially Myths and Mysteries Month? Well, it is now! 

And you are going to write your own myth! 

What is a myth, you may be asking? Isn't it something that's not true, like a lie almost?

No! That's a, umm, myth!

What we're doing is more like this: a traditional or legendary story, usually concerning some being or hero or event, with or without a determinable basis of fact or a natural explanation, especially one that is concerned with deities or demigods and explains some practice, rite, or phenomenon of nature.

And you can totally make one up!

Our slogan for Myths and Mysteries Month: Write your own legend, BE your own myth!

It will be fun, and we might have snacks!
