Class experience
US Grade 7 - 10
In this 7 week class we will meet weekly to discuss the book Spilling Ink. Spilling Ink: A Young Writer's Handbook by Anne Mazer & Ellen Potter This book offers advice, writing prompts and ideas, and more to budding writers. It is at times serious and silly. This is a great book for learners at all stages of their writing journey. Week 1: No Reading Due before class Topics - Introductions, Critique Expectations, Class Expectations *In-Class: Learners and teacher will introduce themselves....
Learners will learn about writing, writers, writing habits, and the writing life. Learners will explore themselves as writers. Learners will reflect on their own writing habits, strengths, and areas of improvement.
I have a BA in Creative Writing. I have taken and continue to take writing classes to improve my writing expertise. I have written extensively in my life. I love to write and want to share that love of writing with students. There was a time in my life when teachers told me I couldn't write because my writing didn't fit into the "box" they believed Writing was. I have since learned that all authors have their own writing style, technique, and process and that the process that works best for you, the author, is the best process. I want to share this understanding with students and help them discover their own process. I have not published my first Novel, of which I am currently in the editing and revising stages. The reason for this is that the story is a fantasy novel and I am working hard to build the world in which the story takes place. I have just finished drafting Book two in the series this past NaNoWriMo (2020).
