Creative writing begins when the spark of an idea ignites the fuel of language. The writer picks up pen and transforms the idea into a narrative. For those who wish to travel the road of creative writing, this class offers a map for the journey. The focus will be on the basic practices and attitudes that will help you become a writer who writes. This course will provide you with new tools and an open forum for your work. Through lively discussion, examples, in-class exercises, and assignments, we will examine all facets of the writing life, including the elements of style, voice, and dramatic structure. A significant part of each meeting will be devoted to writing and participation and attendance is essential.
Note: Designed for beginners but all levels are welcome.
