For the curious, the strange, and anyone wondering what might happen if they followed an impossible idea.
Somewhere between the world as it is and the world as it could be, there’s something waiting to be written.
Come Write With Me
Join poet and speculative artist Imani Sims for generative writing experiences exploring the strange, magical, speculative, and wonderfully impossible. We’ll write poetry and prose, build worlds, trouble old myths, follow peculiar questions, and give our imaginations permission to misbehave.
You don’t have to call yourself a writer. You just have to be willing to follow the strange.
Come curious. We’ll see where it takes us.

Four weeks at the edge…
Week One — Follow the Strange
Something is calling your attention. Let's find out why.
We'll begin with hauntings, fears, memories, strange desires, unsettling images, peculiar little what ifs, and things that probably shouldn't exist.
Week Four — Bring Something Back
Our final week is where genres can blur.
Poetry can become narrative. Prose can fracture. Myth can meet science fiction. Horror can become beautiful. The surreal can become intimate. Your piece doesn't have to behave itself.
We'll revise, experiment with form, share work, and discover what completion looks like for the thing you've made.
Week Two — Make the Impossible Ordinary
This week, we'll build worlds around impossible premises. We'll explore place, atmosphere, mythology, magic, technology, character, speaker, and the rules governing the worlds we create.
Week Three — Make a Little Trouble
This week, we'll play with myth, folklore, dreams, transformation, desire, repetition, rupture, and the wonderfully illogical.
Feedback for Strange Little Things
We aren't here to make everyone's writing sound the same.
We're here to help each piece become more itself.
Through Pull / Wonder / Follow, we'll ask:
PULL: What's pulling you deeper into the work?
WONDER: What makes you deliciously curious?
FOLLOW: What thread might lead somewhere unexpected?
Sharing is always an invitation, never a requirement.
You'll also receive personal written feedback from Imani on up to five pages of poetry, prose, or hybrid work.

Self-Guided Writing Experiences
When the Dark Calls Your Name
Writing Horror at the Edge of the Known
The dark is still calling. Answer whenever you're ready.
What happens when the familiar becomes strange? When something beautiful turns unsettling? When the impossible begins to feel a little too real?
Originally offered as a live workshop, When the Dark Calls Your Name is now a self-guided writing experience exploring horror beyond monsters and jump scares.
Through literary readings, storytelling techniques, and generative prompts, you'll explore haunting, transformation, mythology, and the wonderfully unsettling.
What's Inside:
Workshop slides exploring the building blocks of horror storytelling
Curated literary excerpts with guided observations and questions
Three 15-minute generative writing prompts
Format: Downloadable PDF | Self-guided | Approximately 60–90 minutes
No deadlines. No horror-writing experience required. Just you, the page, and permission to let your imagination misbehave.
Come curious. Follow the strange. See what answers.
