What if, on another path, you made a different choice? This workshop explores the compelling concept of parallel lives. We will delve into the roads not taken, crafting narratives that ask “what if?” You can use your own life as a springboard, imagining a pivotal moment with a different outcome, or you can invent a character and their potential destinies from scratch. We will discuss effective story structures and writing techniques to bring these mirrored realities to life.
There are powerful storytelling possibilities that exist in the space between chance and choice. Learn essential tools for structuring dual storylines that mirror and complicate one another. Craft meaningful echoes in character and circumstance, using juxtaposition to deepen theme and examine the profound tensions between destiny and choice, memory and reality.

The widget that lets you sign into the forum with your WHQ login has given up.
We are trying to coax it back into existence. So far neither bribery, begging or crying has worked. We are currently trying shaking our fists at the sky and going ‘grrrr’.
You can still get to the forum though! Do this:
IMPORTANT: This means you will have TWO (2) passwords/logins. One for the WHQ main site and one for the forum. It’s a pain in the arse. We’re sorry. It is temporary, but at least you can dick about on the forum again. OKAY BYE.
Once you hit the button, you’ll get a confirmation email, and we’ll send you the Zoom link an hour before the event.
We’ve sent the Zoom link to your inbox and we’ll send it again one hour before the event.
If you don’t get an email, check your spam fist and then wang us a line on he**@**********co.uk and we’ll leap into action with keenness and speed.
