Fiction writing may seem daunting, but it doesn't have to be hard! Beginning or tentative writers will gain confidence in their writing through focused weekly in- and out-of-class activities. Students write with guidance from prompts during class time, and will be given additional prompts to practice at home. Class 1 ushers students straight into writing, as we focus on character development and play with point of view. Students will choose from character-centric prompts to work on during class time, and should practice at home with some or all of the remaining prompts. Class 2 brings the action through a focus on active vs. passive language, verbs, and “five senses” descriptive language. Students will choose from action-oriented prompts to work on during class time, and should practice at home with some or all of the remaining prompts. Class 3 introduces dialogue as a device for developing characters and enhancing action, with a focus on writing dialogue that sounds natural and helps move the story forward. Students will choose from dialogue-based prompts to work on during class time, and should practice at home with some or all of the remaining prompts. Class 4 puts it all together. During class time, students will write a scene that incorporates characters, action, and dialogue. With encouragement and peer support, students should finish this course feeling more confident with their writing skills and ready to tackle additional writing classes! I also offer this class in combination with Fiction Writing Crash Course! as a 5-day (M-F) camp, Camp Crash Course!
