This is a course that is ongoing for five weeks.  Feel free to drop in and out as you would like. 

We will be using our imaginations, creativity and writing skills to engage a reader.  This will be a prompt driven class with a mini lesson and lots of time to grow into your writing style.  The teacher will be creating and sharing too, while offering feedback and support as students demand it. You can share, you don't have to share.  You can talk, laugh and engage other students for their ideas and feedback.  Very low stress course.
