Keeping Your Nerve: A Fiction-Writing Workshop
This six-week fiction-writing workshop offers the support, structure, and discussion of craft to help you summon and sustain your writing nerve. The class is designed for those looking to find their way into fiction … or for those who have found their way but want to broaden their skills … or for those currently working on stories but need a nudge to continue.
You will be provided with weekly writing prompts, assigned readings, hard candy, and feedback from others in the workshop. We will spend class time looking at your rough drafts and discussing basic elements of fiction writing: narrative structure, point-of-view, characterization, scene and summary, and beginnings and endings.
