MORE CREATIVE WRITING
Students from Creative Writing I and newcomers
are welcome. You will continue your experiments
in writing fiction begun in Creative Writing I,
and you’ll start getting serious about pieces
you’ve already written.
Now we’ll start working on finding your
individual style, practicing technique, and
polishing the finished work. As a class we’ll
critique, construct, guide, and support.
We’ll also discuss the elements of fiction found
in all good literature: metaphor, symbolism,
humanity, and truth. Plus, as we approach
possible publication we’ll
consider the relationship between fiction and
society, and think about what people want to
read. There will be lots of revisions, rewrites,
and finished works—all while continuing to enjoy
ourselves. Please bring a story idea,
work-in-progress, or completed piece to the
first class.
