Brainstoryum: Short Stories and Writing Prompts

95 episodes

1 week ago

Brainstorm stories using the surrealist word game of Exquisite Corpse - a creative writing challenge you'll never forget! Hosted by award-winning dreampunk & fantasy author Anna Tizard. The game produces strange, often hilarious sentences, but after a bit of head-scratching (and tea drinking!), they inspire weird & unexpected stories. This show has evolved: Shows 37 & later focus more on storytelling, and the story brainstorms are deeper & richer. Shows 28-33 are Alice in Wonderland specials. Earlier shows include profound discussions on writing before game play. Dive in and don't look back!
