Regular readers no doubt gave up on me weeks ago, and for good reason. However, I'm here to say--fear not dear reader! Soon there will be much more to read. Starting on Monday 10/6, I will be taking a non-credit course called "Writing from Personal Experience." The course description reads:
Memories, observations, and analyses are the writer's raw materials. In this course, participants transform their personal experiences into memoirs, humorous social commentaries, and narrative story essays as they read and discuss published writing by established authors. Class sessions introduce techniques for developing and strengthening the writer's voice; selecting details that provide clarity, interest, and meaning; and creating effective essay/story structures. Such nonfiction techniques as setting, character, narrative tension, and resolution are also put to use. Participants share their writing in a creative, supportive environment.
I figure that you, most patient of friends, relatives, and perfect strangers, deserve to read whatever comes out of my tortured keyboard. I expect to post assignments (and any comments they receive) here.
I'll do my best to keep it interesting.
