Short Fiction: First Drafts

An evening for getting a story started — momentum over polish, with prompts designed to outrun your inner editor.

Boston, MA

First drafts die of self-consciousness more often than lack of talent. This evening session is built for momentum: a short craft talk on openings, then three rounds of timed writing from prompts that give you a character, a place, and a problem before your inner editor wakes up. You'll leave with the raw material of at least one story.
