About the Program
This short course looks at the two most critical aspects of creative writing: naming and collecting. After starting with the basics, covering what writing and creative writing actually are, the course will then move on to explain to students how to organize their ideas on paper in the most effective way possible. This will involve revisiting some things that we THOUGHT we knew already. Once we have a new understanding of some of those building blocks, we will move on to naming and collecting. These are two practices, mindsets, and habits that every writer must nurture in themselves.
Course Objectives
- To illuminate for students the difference between creative writing and academic writing and where they overlap.
