Lend us your ears. For we present to you the 2016 edition of the Word Lounge! Replete with writing workshops, storytelling games, Twitter fiction, and many other adventures of the literary kind.<\/p>\n<p>As you well know, writing is not just about stringing pretty words together, but it is about characters, dialogues, settings, story, genre etc. At the Word Lounge 2016, you will get to fine-tune these nuances.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Curious to know more? Read on.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Think you know your cinema? How about writing stories incorporating some of the most iconic dialogues in movie history?

If being evil and manipulative is not your cup of tea (difficult as it is to believe), why not just relax with our fellow writers for a taste of some <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/groups\/712233018804033\/\">Alphabet Sambar?<\/a><\/p>\n<p>We\u2019ve all sung the wrong lyrics to a song.
