Description
How do we tell stories? What do we include in writing, and what remains unsaid? Build your voice as we focus on a group of specific techniques for shaping and informing your creative skills, including character, plot, point of view, description, dialogue, and setting. You will read short selections of writing to see what techniques to beg, borrow, and steal. You will experiment with in-class writing exercises and read and discuss each other's work. Writing can be inventive, illogical, chaotic, unexpected, strange, and wonderful. In this class, you will practice seeing the world in new ways and then recreating that experience on the page. This class explores adult themes, language, and content.
