Advanced Busy Town with Megan Gray
Class Description
If you are the kind of person who over thinks your long form, then this is the long form for you. Busy Town is a narrative structure where we will practice building a strong foundation at the beginning in order to free up the rest of our time for non-stop party fun*. Build strong characters, be inspired by your games, use a tag out like a Jedi master -- think less, do more, get busy. *disclaimer: fun may stop at 25 minutes (prereq: Level 3)
