I am ADHD and also dyslexic. I write with no plan and barely any agenda. I would love it if it were different but my brain is happiest when rolling at high speed. My workshop would be a conversation on being brave and going for it. Being inventive and taking stories to different places. 

In the workshop, we will given a scenario and asked to carry it along. As a group, we will create the scenario together in conversation. It will be fun being inventive and challenging each other to come up with solutions to ideas. Each person will be asked to sit quietly and work on each other's suggestions using their own experiences. At the end we will read each other what we ave written.
