Spooky edition!! Surrealist Writing Games

Dim the lights. Light a candle if you're feeling dramatic. Then log on to zoom and get ready to play!

In this hour of Halloween-flavored writing games, you'll team up with fellow writers on Zoom to build strange, delightful, slightly haunted pieces of writing in real time. Many of these games come from the Surrealists, who believed the most interesting ideas hide just past the edge of our control.

What comes out is uncanny, surprising, and often hilarious. Along the way, you'll loosen up your imagination, practice fast and fearless drafting, and discover images and phrases you never would have found on your own. Writers often leave these sessions with a spark for a new piece, or a fresh way into a project that's been stuck.

No experience required, and no costume necessary (though we won't stop you). Whether you're a novelist, poet, journaler, or just curious, you'll find a warm, playful room and a reminder that writing can be wildly fun.

Grab your pen, pull up a chair, and let's summon something wonderful.
