2009 Fall Event - October 17: FUELING THE CREATIVE MIND
Featuring world-renowned creative writing expert Jurgen Wolff, author of Your Writing Coach
In a presentation by this popular writing coach, writers will be led through a series of connected seminars to explore four innovative, right-brained ways they can prepare their creative minds for the acts of writing and revising. The seminars include
I. Alter Ego Strategies
II. Right Brain Visualization
III. The Q Method of Analyzing Text
IV. The Transformation of the Inner Critic


~ Fall 2009 Classes
Point of View
Instructor: Margaret Nevinski
Choosing a point of view (POV) is one of the most important decisions a writer makes when beginning a new piece of fiction.  However, confusion abounds about different POVs and which is most effective for a particular story. This hands-on class will explore the complex world of POV and discuss the advantages and disadvantages of each.  Students will submit a writing sample before the class starts. Depending on the number of students, the instructor will discuss 1-2 pieces of submitted writing from students each week from the perspective of POV. During each session, students will write POV exercises and be encouraged to share them aloud and discuss.

Brass Tacks: The Right Sentence and the Telling Detail
Instructor: Priscilla Long
First-rate writers use all the sentence forms and choose them to carry particular meanings or emotions. This hands-on course is designed for writers of all levels—beginner to advanced— interested in revising several short works or books-in-progress. We'll scrutinize brilliant sentences and paragraphs and apply our discoveries as we reshape our own works to intensify content. Diction (word choice) is equally important. Students will explore techniques for gathering language that is more original, more resonant, and still true to one's individual voice.

Travel Writing
Instructor: Nick O'Connell
You've taken the trip, but how do you recreate the experience for others? Good travel writing utilizes all the skills of creative nonfiction: dramatic scenes, character sketches, concrete detail, point of view, and scene-by-scene construction. In Session 1 of this class, students will explore these elements through lecture and discussion as they begin writing a 750- to 1000-word manuscript on a trip they've taken. In Session 2 of this class, students will center on revision of their completed manuscripts through feedback from the instructor and their peers.
