In this course, students will participate in a professional-grade writer's workshop geared for beginning writings of fiction or creative nonfiction. Students will read instructive texts and participate in writing and thinking exercises in order to think about the important stories in their lives and how to begin to tell these, and other stories, as an anchor point toward beginning to understand themselves in the changing contexts of their lives as college students. This class is primarily focusing on fiction or creative nonfiction prose, but we will also accommodate interest in poetry or comic/illustrated pieces. Students will finish the course with one polished piece to share.
