Creative Writing is a story-building process, in this segment we'll talk about building the world that your characters will inhabit.

This class is the first in a series of Creative Writing Classes that I will be presenting to help students become more confident and enthusiastic writers.  

Beginning writers often struggle with the vocabulary to describe the environment in which their story is set.  We will look at interesting landscapes and explore the different ways that we can describe them.  We will be going over how different words that mean something similar can take on an...

I am a writer.  Since I received my first journal at 9 years old, I've used words and language to share my heart and my ideas.  I love when a person can tell me a story, or convey a message, or just communicate what they are feeling.

So much of writing seems difficult for the young authors out there.  We call their assignments "Essays" and "Book-Reports" and we often have a metric for these struggling writers that seems impossible to beat.  This is not that...this will touch on those important structures of language, those rules that you just have to have to convey meaning in the story...and then we'll set about the story-telling that turns into delight.

I believe in building young writers one easy, accomplishable step at a time, so later they can construct a world out of words.

This is the first in a series of Creative Writing Classes that will lead those who want to join me in November for National Novel Writing Month and NaNoWriMo's Young Writers Program.  If that sounds interesting you can see what that is here (https://ywp.nanowrimo.org/pages/for-writers ).

Your student will need their favorite writing implement and their favorite paper or their favorite word-processor.  Keep in mind, that if they want to send me their work, it'll have to be in colors that will scan. ;)

I believe that we can learn anything and everything…with a few tools, and the ability to lay down our fears and try.  

As a kid, I moved a lot.  By the time I was 14 years old, I’d been to or...
