About: The Imagination CREW (Creative Routes to Explore Writing) is a virtual creative writing workshop/group for those with OCD. Come join the CREW and spend time with other members of the OCD community! Each group meeting will focus on a certain type of creative writing and/or a certain theme/topic. These will vary, but may include Fantasy, Poetry, Short Play Scripts, Short Stories, Hero’s Journey Stories, Anti-Hero Stories, Songs, Comic Strips, Collaborative Projects, Journaling, Greeting Cards, Create an app, Invention, Create a reality show, Create a holiday, Mystery, and more.  

We will have information about the writing style/theme to guide writers, fun creative writing prompts, collaborative activities, and opportunities to share with the group for those who are interested. It’s all about getting creative and being part of the community!
