Try your hand at creative writing!
This course offers a virtual safe space to try your hand at creative writing or reignite your love for it. You’ll explore how to generate story ideas, learn ways to find your voice, create characters, and construct a story arc through writing prompts, exercises, and readings. By the end of the course, you’ll have gained more confidence in knowing how to mine your imagination and experiment with new story ideas.
Learn at your own pace: This workshop will take place over Wet Ink, which is an asynchronous creative writing platform. The instructor will post a lesson and assignment at the beginning of each week, and participants can log in and read the lessons/post assignments/comment on other classmates’ work at their convenience. Shortly before the start date, participants will receive an invite from Wet Ink to create their login info and access the class. Please check your spam if you don’t see it.
