Personal Narrative Writing I

Our lives are fertile subjects for stories. We write about our personal experiences in order to inspire or entertain others, to create a permanent record, or to search for deeper meaning. In the process we examine and reevaluate our past and perhaps come to better understand ourselves. In this course we will use our life stories as springboards for writing that is interesting, lively, and insightful. We will learn the elements of good story writing, read and critique one another's work, and explore the possibilities of getting published.

Note: No prerequisite.
