The mythological Chimera is created from parts of different beasts. Does that hybridity sound like your work or an area you’d like to explore? In this generative workshop, we’ll mix things up to create a unified experience. We’ll begin with example texts that turn into writing prompts. By week’s end, everyone will lay pages on the floor to get a view of progression and cohesion. Open to all. Facility in one genre is recommended.
