Feeling stuck, unmotivated, or daunted by a blank page? Then it’s time to fix that block through this six-week fiction course focused on generation instead of product! Through discussion, writing activities, and prompts, we’ll experiment with POVs, fragmentary writing, and writing habits and routines. Every other week, we’ll create a safe space to workshop the fiction you’ve been generating, with the goal to keep moving forward and consider new directions for your work/s, rather than to edit and/or revise. If by the end of this course you have written a new short story or a new novel chapter, then that’s fantastic, but there’s no pressure to do so!
This class is an interactive online workshop using Zoom.
