Writing is a tool, a habit and a practice. While it can now be technically outsourced through software, it remains a strong formative and creative skill that, just like reading, can also simply be for pleasure. In this course, we will focus on how storytelling and writing can be essential tools in any creative process. Learning about creative writing as a method to build your own voice can prove useful through many writing typologies, including prompting. In this class, we will focus on themes such as reading, inspiration, research, drafts, editing, feedback, and more through a cross-sectional disciplinary approach. Our reading materials, thinking points and writing exercises will come from fiction, non-fiction, poetry, but also academic writing, and journalism. There aren’t any specific prerequisites except being ready to read significantly and write every week with actual pen and paper.
