Think your ideas are too messy, weird, or downright bad to become something real? Perfect! You're in the right place.

In this playful, judgment-free 90-minute workshop, we’ll flip the script on creativity by starting with the worst ideas you can think of. Seriously. The best way to find your best ideas is to let your terrible, no-good, very bad ideas flow freely.

Through a series of generative writing exercises and discussion, we’ll explore how bad ideas are often the seeds of something brilliant.

You’ll leave with a collection of new story starts, the confidence to follow your creative instincts, and feedback to help shape your next big thing.

Come ready to play, explore, and write your way into your next idea.
