奇幻、小說與小說作家的創意寫作課程：創作情節等

Do you love writing flash fiction, short stories, and novels, or even dream of creating a book series? Find your creative home here! Our club is a vibrant community where you can seek challenges, build connections, and watch your writing flourish. Make new friends, gain confidence, and grow your writing skills in a supportive and fun environment.

Supportive Community: I love helping kids create stories. My class is designed to enhance kids' creative confidence, inspire their imagination, and build a core love of writing. You'll find a supportive and positive environment where you can thrive as a writer, no matter your skill level. 

Customized Learning: Designed for students who enjoy storytelling and creative writing, the class covers different genres or writing topics along with other writing tips every week. Topics are student-driven, which means my message box is open 24/7 for lesson suggestions, writing questions, and prompt requests. 

Individual Feedback: Students are welcome to send their writing projects to my message box for one-on-one feedback. They are free to let me know what type of feedback they are looking for. I'm also happy to help students generate ideas, work on their plots, come up with names, etc. 
In the class

Fuel Your Imagination! I'll share engaging, thought-provoking prompts and pictures from various genres to spark new creative ideas for scenes or stories each class. While I provide prompts for inspiration, students are free to write about any topic, genre, or story of their choosing. 

Dedicated Writing Time: Students will have approximately 15-20 minutes to write independently (teacher support will always be available). This structured writing time helps new learners develop the essential habit of regular writing, boosting their skills and confidence. During this period, students can ask individual questions and seek guidance as needed. Additionally, students can always send their work or questions outside of classroom time for more support or if they don't feel comfortable asking during class.

Optional Share Time: After the writing session, time is provided for students who want to share what they're working on with the class. I do not require or pressure students to share their work. I know how uncomfortable this can be for some learners. We will also do a fun ice-breaker to get to know each other before we discuss the topic of the day.

Weekly Discussion topic: The focus will be on improving writing and storytelling skills that can be used throughout many genres. Students are welcome to continue working on their writing while we discuss the topic. The class covers a wide range of writing-related topics that are driven by student suggestions. Topics won't build on each other, so students don't have to worry about missing a previous topic. 

Flexible and Ongoing: This class is ongoing, so kids can join anytime without worrying about missing previous lessons. Try out a single class or keep coming back—no prior experience is needed, just a passion for stories and something to write with!

I encourage advanced students to do extra writing outside of class, but it is not required. 

Join us to improve your writing while making friends and having fun!
