What You Will Learn?
- This course is designed to be completed over four weeks and will take you from writing to the first time, to coming up with great ideas, plotting and editing. It considers the powers of great stories and includes reading recommendations, a writing journal including daily prompts and weekly workbooks for you to complete alongside the lessons. .
- I usually teach this class to young adults and adults online and in person to help them begin to write creatively for the first time. It is meant to help you write a short story for the first time or consider starting to write a novel. It is meant for anyone who loves writing and stories and would like to try writing their own for the first time. .
- Writing should make you feel as joyful as I did on my recent birthday when I was surprised with a confetti card. I recommend Big Magic by Elizabeth Gilbert to introduce you to a more loving relationship with creativity - there is no room for the suffering artist here, stories and story telling should be about honesty, the beauty of the human experience and enjoying the process. .
- Everyone is equally welcome on this course - every race, gender, religion, age and taste in music is welcome. I just hope that you enjoy and I look forward to reading your work and hearing your feedback. .
- The Class structure is as follows:.
- 1) Getting Passed the Blank Page.
- 2) The Ideas.
- 3) Great Dialogue.
- 4) Planning and Writing a Story.
