Douglass Street Writing Laboratory Spring Session
On a roll with your writing? Need a shot in the arm? Have you been procrastinating? Need some structure?
Fiction, Creative Non, and Beyond
A Creative Writing Laboratory
When: 8 consecutive Tuesdays, starting April 1st, 2008.
What time: 7-9:30pm.
Where: A spacious private home near both the Castro and Noe Valley with easy parking and access to MUNI.
Cost: $350.00
Intimate writing laboratory (a place to research, experiment, measure, review, and revise) for all levels. The vibe of this course will be neither academic nor coddling.
- Experienced writers should expect to build upon their craft skills and deepen their characterizations.
- "Beginners" should expect to learn a useful, creative writing vocabulary and to experience how precision, concreteness, expansiveness, and generosity work together to form compelling and scintillating prose.
- All should expect to take their work, but not themselves, seriously (plan to have fun in an environment that will be at once focused and relaxed).
Non-writer-identified folks, avid readers, and creative artists (actors, dancers, musicians, etc.) are welcomed, encouraged to attend.
Class Size: 8-12 people (maximum 12).
Notes:
You will not be responsible to write written feedback for your peers. Reading/feedback will take place in "the lab" and there will be the option of posting and responding online in between sessions.
The Douglass Lab is also home to a cat, should that be relevant to you.
