Your weekend is not weird enough without Brainstoryum! Join award-winning fantasy and dreampunk author, Anna Tizard, in a funny and dark Alice in Wonderland-style journey into creative writing. Brainstorming and writing short stories has never been so rich in discovery and surprises, using the surrealist word game of Exquisite Corpse to generate prompts and stretch your imagination. Listeners’ words are drawn from the legendary Socks of Destiny and mixed into writing prompts which lead to themost unexpected story ideas—and a fascinating exploration of creative writing craft. Listeners are also warmly invited to share their own microfiction and poetry based on the previous show’s prompts. Today’s show showcases the latest of these, followed by another three laugh-out-loud rounds of Exquisite Corpse, which this time lead to a magical dreampunk tale with a touch of darkness.
