Description
In this two-hour single session class, we’ll practice methods for mining the world (and the internet) for inspiration; organizing our notes into meaningful categories; evaluating the potential roles these nuggets of inspiration can play in a story; and using what we’ve collected to brainstorm beginnings, middles, and ends of stories. The aim is to come away with 3-5 potential story ideas to develop into drafts of short fiction, novels, or scripts.
We are able to offer a limited amount of both 50% scholarships for our multi-week classes and 100% scholarships for our single-session classes on a first-come, first-serve basis. Students may receive one scholarship per term. Click here to apply for a scholarship spot.
