Writing a Story in Eight Weeks: Creative Intersections

In this generative writing class, we’ll tackle writing from all sorts of different creative angles. We’ll incorporate doodling, collaging, reading, post-it-noting, flash carding, and all sorts of different forms of fun ways to edit, write, and explore a story. Throughout the class we will also pay attention to short-story fundamentals, including character, setting, plot and conflict.

Over the course of eight weeks, you’ll work to complete a rough draft of a short story, with weekly check-ins to keep you on track. There will be some in-class discussion and feedback for your writing, but there will not be a traditional, dedicated workshop component to the class.

This class is for all writing ability levels.

Class outcomes:
Explore different ways to generate and explore a story
Develop a complete rough draft of a short story
