What we’re about
Do you ever feel like you are in a rut?
Bored or complacent at work or at home?
Or just want to try something new?
Spend a quick hour with us!
Inject some spontaneous creativity into your life.
View the world through a different lens.
We have several different kinds of online events, all designed to stretch your creative muscles in a fun, low-key, no-judgement way. They currently all involve writing -- but you don't have to be a "writer" to participate (I'm not).
As of January 2022, we have the following regular events:
Online Flash Fiction
Write a super short story based on 1 of 4 pictures shown
5 minutes of writing, then readouts (if you want)
every three weeks on a Monday evening at 7pm Pacific time
Collaborative Foundations
Write a story inspired by a picture and some foundational elements we select together
1 minute of thinking, then 7 minutes of writing, then readouts (if you want)
every three weeks on a Sunday afternoon at 4pm Pacific time
The Starting Line
Write a story inspired by a picture that must start with the provided starting line
5 minutes of writing, then readouts (if you want)
Haiku Inspired by Iconic Art
Write a haiku capturing how a shown iconic piece of art makes you feel
5 minutes of writing, then readouts (if you want)
For each event, we do three rounds in an hour. And boy, does time fly!
Times of events are Pacific time (I am in San Francisco) but you are welcome to join no matter where you are located.
