Description
Writers might set out to begin a text that feels overwhelming in scope, looking for a way into the project or of sorting and arranging a complicated and unwieldy project already in progress. Rather than asking, “What do I want to say?” and deciding on a stance, you might ask instead, what do I know about this, or better still, what resonates with me?” This question can help you generate a concrete list as a way of gathering the materials that you will use to make up the text of your writing. We will look at examples of works structured around a list of objects, a list of characters, and a list of events as models for how we can structure our own work. Writers will read and discuss short excerpts and will participate in generative in class writing in response to prompts.
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.
