🤩 Time again to hear from one of our inspiring Story Mentors on what they love most about their job 🗝 🧞

"I love helping kids unlock their creative potential, especially if they're initially unsure it's there. Whether teaching kids narrative basics, or advanced story theory, I think it’s important to remember that writing is supposed to be fun, and I think that’s an energy I bring to my sessions with my gamified lessons and lively dialogues.”
- Fabian

A very pondersome vibe in the studio last week as we explored the ‘Professor’ archetype 🤔

This week we’re in the throes of getting to know the ‘Shadow’ archetype, characters like Rumi, Zuko, Gollum… even Elsa ❄️ and giving our own protagonists a shadow side.

This has been SUCH a fun term, and the perfect one to lead us into anthology season, where we’ll be writing original stories for publication!

Happy Wednesday writing ✍🏼☺️

Forgive us while we boast about just how wickedly creative our young writers are... 💎💎💎

“The stone that everyone in Kilmoor was required to wear around their necks served as a truth detector. It would glimmer green or red should the wearer be lying. Green for truth. Red for lies. Hayley's stone only glowed green despite the fact she lied a lot. Artichoke on the other hand…”

Thursday in the studio with the amazing Miso! 😎

Young writers are exploring the Charmer archetype this week, and we are loving the cool ideas, the silky words and the charismatic characters springing forth from their imaginations 💡

This term has quickly become a favourite of mentors and young writers alike! If your young writer has a piece of writing from their weekly session that they’d love to share, we’d love them to submit to the Young Writer Blog! Just get in touch for the submission code 🔊
