Grossman 106 Limit 12
This is a course that encourages experimentation and challenges your assumptions on how to get started or improve your writing. It is an open and welcome writing community. Participants will bring their favorite pen, pad or notebook and write longhand using an improv approach responding to a prompt from the instructor. Each class will have a theme and explore different writing elements, including dialog, narrative, description and point of view. There are no homework assignments or required readings, no critique and no judgment. It is a place to fire up your imagination and try new things. Writers will take turns reading what they wrote or “pass.” Sharing helps the writer and the group but is not required.
