Writing Prompts! (11 am NYC / 4 pm London)

I know. You were going to be SO MUCH FARTHER on your writing project by now... but SO WHAT?? You're here, which means you want to write. Maybe you need to relax and have fun and write something new? Maybe you need to jog those muscles loose and come up with something so unlike what you've been writing that you didn't even know you had it in you.

Let's generate fresh new ideas and jumpstart your creative juices. HAVING FUN WRITING is its own reward, but you might come up with your next fantastic idea. Be ready to write.

I’ll do a bit of teaching, at least to explain the point behind each prompt, but mostly we’ll just enjoy the freedom of imagination.

• Respond to BRAND NEW creative writing prompts
• Unlock ideas you didn’t know were lurking in your head
• Get out of your creative comfort zone
• Experiment with dialect, dialog, conflict, and description.

• Anybody who wants to have fun writing
• Writers looking for new ideas
• Writers who want to feel creative again
• Anybody suffering from Writer’s Block

• There will probably be too many participants to share our writing, but you can email your prompts to Myra for personal (free) feedback

Myra Levine is on a mission: to make sure nobody dies with their story still inside them. She shows writers how to turn their lives, experiences, and areas of expertise into memoirs and fiction. She teaches writing techniques not taught in school, avoids literary jargon, and teaches in plain old English. And her classes are FUN. After all, writing isn’t about knowing where to put the commas; it’s about capturing a moment and bringing it to life.

As a writing coach, Myra challenges her clients to master the tools of fiction. Understanding point of view, dialog, setting, and character development will bring your fiction to a higher level AND will help you write an unforgettable memoir. The germ of an idea can become a great story, or a dozen great stories, or a terrific novel—and a coach can cut years of frustration from the job of writing a great book.

Before turning to fiction and publishing two novels, Myra spent decades writing television and radio scripts, instructional videos, and corporate marketing programs. She won many local and regional advertising awards before leaving corporate life to become a wife and mother of two adopted kids. Stay-at-home-motherhood in the suburbs of Indianapolis rekindled her ambition to write fiction and gave her LOTS to write about. She writes family stories, but focuses mainly on fiction.

“If you twist the truth into fiction, your family will still speak to you. Probably.”

—Myra Levine
