How do you catch the zeitgeist and sort it out from the real world–let alone write about it– when the zeitgeist has to potential to turn on less than a moment’s notice.
\While art and satire’s effectiveness in overthrowing would-be fascists is debatable, they definitely serve as the one voice of sanity among both the violent and the silently complicit.
Let’s do more to mark the world as we see it in real time. It could potentially be our greatest contribution as writers.
By the workshop’s end, you will hopefully move towards writing a finished piece based on a moment of information (or disinformation) that gave you pause, whether it’s a conspiracy email from family or a “Stop the Steal” demonstration witnessed in your hometown.
Good “sources” of these type of stories include Alex Jones’ infamous Infowars web site, the alt-right video hosting site Bitchute, or lesser known sites like Before It’s News. Other sources from more mainstream but alt-right sympathetic sources like Fox News and Boston Herald are also acceptable.
This is an all-ages event with a suggested donation of $10.00.
