**It was a generative fiction workshop...**

Hello @Honor Student! This week for our generative workshop, we'll be looking at strong and weak openings to stories, particularly the use of 'It was' and 'There was' as opening words. We'll explore what works about them and what doesn't, look into why they can weaken a story and how to make them stronger, and talk about other ways we can be more assertive with our writing. As a generative workshop, we'll be coming up with our own story openings and sharing them (voice or text is fine!) so that we can learn by doing, and hey, maybe come up with a great opening line for our next work.

Today at 8:30PM EDT!
