SUMMARY:The Extreme Novelist
DESCRIPTION:Can’t find the time/energy/inspiration to get your novel written? This popular course\, developed by the author of the book by the same name\, will help you complete a rough draft in record time. During the 8 weeks of the course\, students will receive encouraging guidance from professional writing coach Kathryn Johnson. Each author will commit to an aggressive writing schedule and learn the tricks pros use to create a productive working environment and meet their deadlines\, despite life’s distractions. Each class will include accountability and progress reports from each student\, live troubleshooting discussions\, a brief lecture on a key skill of fiction writing\, and the opportunity to submit a portion of the students’ works-in-progress to the instructor for individual feedback and guidance. (Note: This is not a work-shopping course. Further information will be sent to registered students\, in advance of the first class.)
