Some snapshots of our closing skits from this afternoon. We loved hearing your writerly creations!

Tell us - “what is it you plan to do with your one wild and crazy life?”

Some smiles from our agri-workshop! And now, we’re on to Day 2!

“Close your eyes and take the stuff out of your hands” VYWC ‘21 has officially begun!

Calling all young writers! We are one month away from the 2021 VYWC - apply now!

Today’s exercise is about dialogue. I want you to experiment with writing a scene (or poem, song, personal essay, etc.) in solely dialogue. You can only describe the setting, any conflict, characterization, etc. through dialogue. You can use endings like “she yelled” or “he whispered frantically” to imply the tone and possible conflict.
