This is an ongoing class--feel free to join in at any time for as many weeks as you like. 
In this ongoing class, students will meet and share their creative writing projects for guidance and support.  Activities will include peer review, teacher feedback, as well as instruction and support in various styles and genres of creative writing.  Whatever part of the process you are in with your writing, this class can inspire and encourage you.  We will have weekly in class exercises to build creative writing skills, as well as opportunities to share your projects with the class and/or the teacher.  Weekly writing topics and focus genres will guide, but not limit our discussion.
