Just Write More

Seven Thursday Sessions 

10:00-12:00pm EST 

Dates: 1/22 – 3/12 (OFF 2/19)

 

This prompt workshop is for writers who have taken at least two sessions of Just Write and are looking to take their freewrites to the next level. Students will still write to prompts each week, but will also be encouraged to write more outside of class. Prompts include stories, poems, novels, images, film excerpts, plays, and more. Deeper craft lessons will be woven through feedback provided during each meeting. Writers may choose to share freewrites or work from home for feedback.

 

 In this class, you can expect:·

 

  • A warm, supportive environment.
  • Weekly follow-up emails with additional stories and essays, as well as more prompts to play with in between workshops.
  • Guidance about the writer’s life – including thoughts on how to get unstuck, and how to silence the critic
  • Direction for how to revise freewrites and shape them into finished pieces.
