Creative Writing
CREATIVE WRITING Fee: $45
Open up the world of creative writing and learn the techniques
that can put you in print. In this course, you will experience the
hands-on practice of learning to say what you want in the best, most
efficient, and attractive way possible. You will be asked to keep a
journal of your daily life, from which you can draw inspiration for
"slice of life" writing as well as narrative stories. You will learn
how to make a story come alive by using details and "what if"
scenarios, how to interview effectively, and how to develop a
character. There will be discussions on the art of criticism and how
it helps, not hurts. You will learn the specifics of editing,
manuscript preparation, querying, and submission of your writings.
Emphasis will be on learning to develop your own voice or
recognizable style. Don't put off your writing any longer, the world
is waiting for that book you've been planning or that short story
you've been meaning to write!
