My blog followers will know that I recently spent 2 fabulous weeks giving Story Planning Workshops for Camp Asia in Hong Kong by Zoom. The optional final challenge was for the participants to complete writing up their stories from their Story Plans! I was delighted to see that three talented and hard-working participants took up the challenge – well done Yate Chee, Riya and Christy! Their stories were fantastic: click on the Camp Asia link here to read them! Before you do, just a heads-up…you might find some of the characters in these stories rather unusual! That’s because I picked them out of a hat for our courageous story-planners, who then HAD to use them in planning their stories! I thought this would add to the fun – read the stories and YOU be the judge :)!
