True and Vivid Writing: A Practical Workshop (Online)
X 451.65
English 3 units
Course Fee: $525
Instruction Dates: April 16-June 18
Registration # T7508
The goal of this course is to provoke students into taking risks, experimenting with language, and accessing the rich material of their own perception and unconscious mind. Using the guiding principle of "the process is the product," this course offers simple yet effective exercises to release language; unlock the unconscious; and create true, vivid, and indelible prose. Augmented by readings and in-depth discussion, these exercises enable writers to experiment, to explore and develop resonant prose from the seeds of personal vision and inspiration into an organic whole. Specific methods and tools demonstrate how to integrate the world outside with the author's inner-world as a way toward shaping clear, articulate writing. We also discuss techniques to release the "internal editor" when we need it. Prerequisite: At least one fiction writing course. Enrollment limited to 15 students. $55 nonrefundable.
Instructor: Annie Reid
Annie Reid, MFA, fiction writer and filmmaker whose work has appeared in such publications as American Short Fiction, Nimrod, Alaska Quarterly Review, and the anthology Good to Go: New West Coast Writing
