What You Will Learn?
- In this class, you'll learn how to write vivid, emotionally charged settings, settings that are vital to your story or essay..
- We will connect to a place and time from our past. We'll do three writing exercises that will help bring up memories and details about that place, and we'll learn how to work that detail into our writing..
- We'll discuss nostalgia...a word that originated from the Greek language: nostos meaning return home, and algos meaning pain. In the late 18th century it meant acute homesickness, but today has come to mean a longing or wistful thinking about happy associations from the past. We'll learn to use nostalgia to emotionally charge our writing and help the setting come alive..
