Creative Writing I (Online)

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. We will examine all facets of the writing life, including the elements of style, voice, and dramatic structure.

Note: This is an online course; there are no face-to-face class sessions. It is not self-paced; however, the coursework can be completed at any time of day. Please read the program and computer requirements at extension.ucsd.edu/. Designed for beginners but all levels are welcome.
