In this class, we’ll go over dozens of ways writers get their creative engines revved up and moving, from exercises in basic character formation and development to creating vivid scenes and scenarios for your characters to live and participate in. Basic story structure will be explored, as well as a strong emphasis on how to get from the beginning of a story to the middle and _finish_ your first drafts. Editing basics will also be covered. By the time this class is over, you’ll know how to make yourself start writing, and keep writing until your piece is done.
