​Most of us carry a project we’ve been imagining for years. If the drive is strongest at the beginning, somehow an incredible number of projects don’t make it to an initial draft. This hands-on workshop focuses on that first stage, the jump from what you see in your head to a first working document. Through short guided exercises, alone and in pairs, you’ll learn to spend time with your vision, pull concrete material out of it, and test it on others. You’ll also see why nothing you write at this stage has to be final. You’ll leave with a one-page “draft zero” of your own project and a few simple habits to keep it alive. No experience needed: just bring one project you keep putting off.
