Un ejercicio de escritura guiada con un giro.

Porque escribir da mucha sed.

Toma una copa. Escribe una historia. Toma otra copa. Escribe una historia mejor.

Miami Book Fair presents First Draft, a series of informal writing events that turn happy hours into great stories.

You’re inspired. But you’re also thirsty. Bring your own drink and log in for a First Draft event and a guided writing prompt. Share your writing. You never know what you might knock out as you knock one back!
