Exploring Creative
Writing
Eight weeks of
discovering your creative side
Wednesday afternoons, 12:45 –
2:45
July 4 – August 22, 2018
This is your chance to take up
writing in a warm, supportive
environment. We’ll explore writing short stories and writing true stories,
writing in first person and in third person, writing technique and
getting creative, getting down your very best writing and just for fun writing.
The class has the same format as "Welcome to
Creative Writing," but we look at different aspects of writing. With
either course, you get a shot of inspiration every week and an assignment to
keep you going till the next class. Best of all, this class will provide a zero-pressure,
totally safe setting, where your words will grow and flower.

Intensive Creative Writing isn't
for beginners; it's for people who have been writing for a while or who
have done a course or two before and are working on their own projects. Over
the eight weeks of classes, you’ll be asked to bring in four pieces of your
writing for detailed feedback. All your pieces may be from the same work, such
as a novel in progress, or they may be stand alone pieces. You bring whatever
you want to work on.
Besides critiquing pieces, the instructor will give
short lectures addressing the needs of the group, and in addition to learning
how to critique your own work and receiving constructive suggestions about your
writing, you’ll discover that the greatest benefits come from seeing how your
classmates approach and critique a piece of writing and how they write and
re-write. This is a challenging course, but extremely rewarding.
Fee: $176.11
+ 13% hst = $199
