Students will learn to enjoy writing with the help of their favorite Pokemon Cards. They will learn beginning techniques like writing descriptions, point of view, writing action, and writing emotions. Since this is a beginner writing class, students will not be graded on their writing skills. Instead the purpose of this class is to let them dip their toes into creative writing and have fun.

I received my minor in creative writing from Indiana University Northwest. During my time there, I took many writing workshops and honed my skills. Several of my short stories have been published in independent zines. I also have experience with writing and revising a novel. Many of my close colleagues have literary agents and are on the road to publication. I have acted as a critique partner for them, helping them get their stories to a publishable level. I also am very knowledgeable about the writing industry and what it takes to improve one's creative writing.
