Write a 2k short story in 5 weeks. This generative workshop provides the tools to go from idea to finished story in just a few weeks, moving from start to end without procrastination. Every week you'll be given tools to move forward with your story, with the opportunity to talk with the instructor and other students about successes and challenges during class. The focus is on finding a story topic you feel passionate about, discovering the rising action, creating the climax, and giving the reader a satisfying ending. You provide the words, together we'll cultivate the story.
This is an interactive online class using the Zoom web platform.
