Creative Writing Tuesday Sessions

Join a weekly online writing circle designed to help you build a consistent creative practice, connect with fellow writers and deepen your understanding of the craft.

Facilitated by Tanika Paschke-Moloi of Creative Writing in Cape Town, these sessions bring together writers from across South Africa and around the world for an hour of creativity, reflection and community.

Each session includes:

• A literary concept and craft discussion
• A guided creative writing exercise
• Paired feedback with another writer
• Community writing highlights
• Q&A and discussion

Whether you’re working on fiction, memoir, poetry, songwriting, newsletters or simply looking for a dedicated space to write, you’re welcome.

This Week’s Topic: Alternative Story Arcs

What happens when a story doesn’t follow the familiar rise and fall?

This week, we’ll explore a range of story arcs to add to your writing toolkit. Stories can move in circles, unfold through fragments, follow an inward transformation or leave us with questions still unanswered. How does the shape of a story change what we experience as readers? And how do you choose a structure that serves the story you want to tell?

Through a guided writing exercise, you’ll experiment with an alternative story arc, exploring how a different structure can shift your character’s journey, build tension and create an unexpected ending. Come ready to experiment—you don’t need any previous experience, just curiosity about the different shapes a story can take.
