About the Session
Wherever we write, more often than not we’re stuck in our own head. How do we get unstuck? How can we find a good person to talk to about writing? How can we be that good person to talk to? That’s exactly is why we have developed a board game to give us some practice. Based in part on the renga—a Japanese form of collaborative poetry—this game places writers into groups in guided cross-pollinating writing activities. Alongside discussions on the ins and outs of collaborative writing, as well as critiquing techniques, we’ll hopefully find new paths to keep the energy up, and to build stronger writing communities. (Fiction, but poets welcome.)
