Have you ever said, “Someday I’ll write a story or a book?” Someday is today! Award-winning instructor Elaine Person will guide you toward achieving your writing goals. Open to people of all writing levels as your writing is unique to you. We write together and share by reading our assignments to each other to make your writing stronger. Listening to others helps us improve our writing too. With the use of prompts such as paintings, photographs, quotations, items, and more, you will tap into your own creativity. Each week, we will write together and have positive critique. See your stories unfold. We will discuss a variety of literary techniques used to strengthen our stories. This class is for you, whether you write prose, poetry, lyrics, scripts, or other genres.
