Con-Verse: Making Mountains – Story Week 2025

CON-VERSE: MAKING MOUNTAINS
Story Week: Grow Deeper

Creative people can let their ideas overwhelm them. How do we channel thoughts into actions in a sustainable way? Do you like to jack all your trades and master none? This Con-Verse-ation brings writers and the community together to talk about how we make mountains out of mounds in a good way. It’s time for plain old strategies, plans and long term goals to meet seductive dreams, passions and visions. Who knows? Maybe we’ll form a new project on the spot!
