This course will introduce students to the practice of creative writing, with the understanding that there is no one way to write something. Students will learn through analysis, experiment, expansion, and revision. Our focus will be on locating language, playing with form and challenging our understanding of what narrative/storytelling can be and become. The course will include an ongoing discussion of how to read like a writer. We will explore experiments in writing practice with short assignments designed to broaden students’ ideas and skills. We will use interdisciplinary forms to inform how we think about sentences. There will be a strong focus on creative decision making by the student. This is a creative process led class. Curiosity is essential. Every week students will produce work and revise it. Through these constant revisions students will learn to edit their work.
