The Chimera is a mythological animal created from different beasts. Is this your work or an area you’d like to explore? In this generative workshop, we will literally mix things up to create a new unified experience. You can expect to write new material, rip up old stuff, and research captivating fields. By Friday, you’ll have a number of new projects. Past participants surprised themselves and one another. Experience in one genre is recommended.
