Welcome to Ghost Stories, the Halloween Edition of Meg and Lorette writeathons: our unique, athletic 4 hour real-time writing experiences to “eliminate the blank page,” a brand new monthly co-creation by authors and teachers, Meg Pokrass and Lorette C. Luzajic. The writeathons will feature a variety of unusual curated prompts and ideas designed to get your creativity in serious motion and build a library of drafts for you. This session, the prompts will be related in some way to the theme of ghosts, so that you can incorporate spooky happenings, legends, lore, and hauntings into your writing, in any way that works for you.

The prompts will be varied and playful, including Meg's famous word and vintage photography prompts, Lorette's ekphrastic prompts, and an array of many more varieties of inspirations. Poetry, microfiction, flash fiction, and creative nonfiction all welcome! 

The writeathon involves you working independently but connecting with others in a private Facebook group, to share, support, chat, and have fun with each other. Writing is often a solitary affair, and this is about having fun together and building connections and conversations through creativity. For those who can’t join in real time, you will have a week to participate at your own convenience. However, we strongly recommend participating during the set hours for the full benefits of the experience.

All you need to do is show up with writing pads, a playful spirit, and a desire to write. You will create 8 surprising new drafts in this writeathon. 

$40 USD (checkout will show as $53 Canadian dollars because this site originates in Canada.)
