Share one of your exercises!

A big part of the fun of writing is sharing it! Whichever exercises you enjoyed the most, we want to celebrate them with you. This is your chance to share what happened in that café between you and The Person You Don’t Like, your dialogue exercise, one of your scenes, or anything else inspired by the exercises.

Remember:

99.9% of all writing starts out as bad writing. Don’t overthink it!
Not every exercise may resonate with you, and that’s okay.
Feel free to repeat the exercises you find most inspiring! They come out different every time.
