This class meets once a week and will teach learners how to maximize imagination in creative writing.  There will be some parts of speech and proofreading lessons, however, the main focus of this course is finding fun and joy in writing. I want learners to walk away feeling empowered to make their dreams and ideas into stories. Learners will learn how to use stream of consciousness and imagination exercises/prompts to do just that!

Class 1 We will get to know each other better by building a story together using stream of consciousness
Class 2 Learners will be guided through an imagination exercise (bring a mat or towel for this class), then turn what they imagined into a story.
