Tired of writing school essays and want to have fun writing what YOU want to write?  If so, grab your favorite summer snack and writer's notebook because school is out and summer fun is here for creative writers wanting to tell a fresh story!  This four day camp will provide fun prompts to spark your imagination and challenge you as a creative writer.  

Each day we will start with a brief writer's tip from a seasoned author which will either be in the form of an encouraging expression or a bit of advice.  I will then show the creative writing prompt which will take different forms each day to keep things interesting!  

Here is what this camp will cover:

Day 1:  "Choose a Picture":  An author's tip followed by a choice of three photos to choose from as a story prompt. 

Day 2:  "Continue the Story": An author's tip followed by a written prompt.

Day 3:  "Choose a Word": An author's tip followed by a word prompt.

Day 4:  "Add This to Your Story":  An author's tip followed by a prompt using a group of surprise words.

Commonly Asked Questions:

Do I have to write a short story every time?
The purpose of this class is to inspire creativity and to let you have fun writing.  If you prefer writing a poem, a fictional journal entry, or something else creative this is absolutely OK!  This is simply a fun class for you to write in a stress free environment and to get the creative juices flowing.  

Will there be music playing while I write?
Depending on your preferences, I can have music prepared to play in the background.  Feel free to let me know if you prefer it quiet or if you have a certain kind of music you'd like to listen to.  Depending on which prompt we are working on, I've found that background music or even nature sounds can be quite inspiring as it really adds to the creative process!

What if I don't finish my story in class?
There is no pressure to finish a story in the allotted 50 minutes.  This class is not about grades or finishing things quickly.  However, if we end the class and you would still like to finish your story, I will of course still encourage you to finish it before our next class so that you can share with me the awesome story you came up with.
