This course is intended for those who would enjoy the writing process in a workshop experience. We will explore specific writing skills using literary models such as setting development, character, verb/adjective usage, and dynamic/stative language as guidance in our own writing. Classes will be open for editing discussion and focused on writing passages by famous writers. Set your goals for writing and practice away. We will have lots of lively discussion and sharing in a positive, supportive environment. The text for this course is a Writer’s Digest book, Fiction Writer’s Workshop by Josip Novakovich.
