About

Hello and welcome to my Summer Camp on Crazy Creative Writing!šŸ“šŸ¤” We will be writing the craziest, weirdest short stories humanly possible! 1. I will share a list of writing prompts and all participants should choose a prompt 2. Message in the group chat which prompt you've chosen. Don't worry if you've chosen the same as someone else! 3. Write! 4. There'll be a deadline for your story (however many words you like: it's your creative process!) 5. Anyone who's willing to present their crazy creative story will have a chance to read their work! 6. Here comes the fun part! We will all vote on our favorite stories and the top three crazy writers might win a little something.... I will go over the basics of creative writing for anyone who needs it and the minimal expectations and then the fun shall begin!

About the Tutor

Hi, Iā€™m Tinashe! I'm a high school student from Kenya currently about to tackle Yr 12/AS level. I'm a mathematics and science nerd, though my ultimate bias is biology. On SHW I tutor English and Creative Writing. Outside of school I love to read great literature (the classics, romance and historical fiction), thrift flip old clothes and volunteer anywhere I can.
