How to create a story about the workshop lead’s death
The Narrative Method Worksheets, blank
The Narrative Method is a one-day creative writing workshop which took place during Zengården artist residency in Finnaker, Sweden (2019). Developed during the residency, the workshop aimed to help residents to develop creative writing skills though literary meditations, guided by diagrams. The workshop lasted 2 hours and included a meditation of intuitive drawing, picking a character and an emotion of the story, mindmapping the narrative, and collective writing.
One story even involved my (the workshop lead’s) death, which I consider a grand success.
