This Creative Writing Lounge is an encouraging group for learners to share their original writing: whether it be original short stories, poetry, fan fiction, or anything else you can imagine! Art, including drawings, digital art, Minecraft and Roblox creations, and more, is also welcome. 

Learners are encouraged to read and give their thoughts on each other's work (either in writing or with the video chat functions), and the instructor will always give constructive feedback on learner posts. This includes suggestions on verb usage, developing creative voice, plot pacing, and more. The instructor will also moderate by asking thought-provoking questions about stories and ensuring that students are respectful of each other. 

The instructor will also stimulate activity in the group by posting weekly Writing Prompts and Brain Warmups. 

Example Writing Prompts include: 

"Write one chapter from the point of view of a historical figure"
"Write a short story inspired by the Winter Holiday Season"
"Talk a walk outside and write a poem about it" 

Brain Warmups are fun games to get us thinking creatively, including: 

"If you had a Time Machine, where and when would you travel to?" 
"If you found a Genie Bottle, what would you wish for?"
"If you could build your Dream House, what would it look like?"
