Many, many people want to write: plays, screenplays, fiction, poetry, graphic comix, science fiction, pulp fiction, suspense thrillers, you name it. Most of us begin by becoming inspired by a film or a book that somehow changed our perspective. But often the place to begin with any kind of written work is with ourselves, whether we are writing fiction, poetry, or plays--there is really no place else to go, no other perspective we can have, even when writing the most complex epic novel.
In this class, which will focus on the personal narrative, we will use stories from our lives to open up our eyes to the writing process. We will learn how to describe scenes and characters, how to recreate dialogue, how to write beginnings and endings, and more. By writing about our lives we may also discover something new about ourselves, a pattern we have, a sign of personal growth, or an old habit we need to let go of--all through simply writing it down.
