Ideas are everywhere. But how to find the best one? Everyone has heard of brainstorming as a way to generate ideas. In this session, participants will practice a similar but different technique known as "clustering." We'll begin with an introduction to automatic or freefall writing, and then we'll visit the storms in our brain and "cluster" to find our own best stories. If you'd like to explore how "clustering" can be used to find the stories you are meant to be writing, this session is for you!
