Season 2 Planning: A Team Effort

It all begins this week! The characters, plots, twists, and themes for "Ghost Sniffers" Season 2 are being planned at last. I feel a great joy that the students of the Forge It! Workshop are helping me chart out the new season. The task seems much less overwhelming and the knowledge that there may be other writers for Season 2? Wow! What fresh ideas and voices will they bring to the series? I can barely wait to find out.

At first, I was sad that the larger attendance for the workshop meant that we couldn't host it in the office space at 7419. Shifting to an online version (for about half the price) is more work for me... but is turning out to be incredible. I've been previewing the classes with two of our adult students and the feedback has been amazing. This week the classes will be accessible to all the students and then, to end the week, we have a live, online chat session where everyone gets to meet, share ideas and bounce around crazy concepts.

"Ghost Sniffers" will benefit from all this incredible creativity... thank you, students! The fate of Forge, Spark, Maxo, Maximilian, and all the of the other characters roughed out for Season 2 are in the hands of the wild, silly, smart and creative creatures in the workshop.

Let's shake things up! (And it's never too late to join, ladies and gents -- read more here!)
