Thursday Special!

Our traditional writing workshop is on hiatus until next year, but never fear, we’ve got you covered with some great bonus activities to whet your Narrativity appetite and get those creative juices flowing. These activities are open to and free for all members, no additional registration required. (Though donations are always welcome!)

noon-3:00pm  The return of our very popular 2-Page Read & React!

How it works: Participants hand in the first two pages of their manuscript (yes, on real paper!), then everyone sits in a circle with their eyes closed. One of our Designated Readers picks a piece at random and starts reading, without saying the author’s name. When you recognize your own work, open your eyes and watch your fellow participants’ reactions in real time! There will be a brief opportunity for comments after each reading, when the author may reveal themself or remain anonymous, as they choose. This is a great opportunity to see how the opening of your story lands with a generous sample of your potential readers.

There will be two 15-minute breaks during this session.

3:30-4:30pm  Comrades In Writing Speed-Meet

Whether you’re looking for critique partners, accountability buddies, or just some new friends to talk writing with, this speed-dating-style event lets you meet a lot of folks in a fun, low-stakes way. We will have writing-related conversation-starters to spur a few focused minutes of discussion before you move on to the next nifty person.

7:00pm-late  Party!

Join us for good food, good conversation, and a good chance to get to know your fellow Narrativitists before spending the weekend with them! We’ll have games ranging from Cards Against Narrativity to Mingle Bingo, an unsupervised whiteboard, and all the bad jokes we can pack into an evening. The fun keeps going as long as you’re up for it!

Sounds like fun? All you need to be a part of it is a regular Narrativity membership!
