Hello, wonderful human!

Welcome to Creative Neighbors, a weekly, back-to-basics gathering for all kinds of creativity — writing, painting, drawing, or whatever lights you up.

This project is part of Frances Creates and follows in the footsteps of my past communities - Kansas City Poetry Slam, The Writing Workshop KC and Salt Tooth Writers - which, since 2014, have brought thousands of creatives together to make, share, and grow.

Here’s what to expect:

• Class is on Zoom every Thursday at 7 p.m. CT beginning 9/4/25

• 3 prompts + 15 minutes of uninterrupted creative time per prompt (or bring your own project to work on). Generally, Frances will be writing.

• Optional, friendly sharing (no critiques, positive feedback only)

• A pay-what-you-can model ($10/session or $40/month suggested, min. $1)

• Curriculum delivered via Patreon

• Zoom for Fall semester; possible in-person meetups in Spring

Your next steps:

• Mark your calendar for our next gathering

• Subscribe on Patreon for curriculum prompts

• Bring your creative curiosity — nothing else required

If you have any questions, email me at iamfrancesstory@gmail.com and I’ll be in touch as soon as I can.

Make Something. Feel Better. Together.

With relentless fervor,
Frances Story
