Hello all! I got a lot of interested parties when I mentioned maybe doing a writers camp this year, so I decided to do it!
Beginning February 1st, 2023, and ending February 25th, I will be helping my campers create and complete a 1,500 word short story on the subject of their choice; either fanfiction or original work. We will be starting from the drafting process, on through editing, descriptions, prose, and my own personal “do’s and don’ts” when it comes to writing.
How this works: I will not share your work with other campers without your permission, this is a purely individual exercise! I have four “lessons” to teach, which will be made available on Google Docs. Each camper will set aside 15-20 minutes at the beginning of each week to chat over discord or tumblr (we don’t have to do voice or video, it’s totally up to your level of comfort) to go over each week’s lesson, and another 15 minutes or so at the end to go over the results. On Sunday the 25th, it is my goal that each camper will have a completed short story of their own to share with the rest of the class.
There will be 6 spaces open to writers of any skill level, the only caveat is that you must be open to receiving constructive criticism. We will be going over things like grammar, word use and sentence structure, which means there occasionally might be something I suggest changing or re-wording. The goal here is to help each other grow, not be mean spirited or rude when reading one another’s work—if you have nothing nice to say, don’t say anything at all!
I cannot wait to get started! The sign up sheet is HERE. Please don’t hesitate to message or inbox me with any questions ❤️
