Feed The Monster (Spooky Writing Prompts)

About This Training

Feed the Monster: A Haunted Writing Workshop (1 hour)

Join Lyndsey Croal for an appropriately seasonal choose-your-own-adventure writing workshop. During the session, you will be guided through a few exercises for writing horror, and then prompts to build the bones of a new idea or even complete a short story or flash in the workshop. This will be a relaxed workshop and will be suitable for any level of writing experience.
