Sustain your brain! This course will help you reach your creative potential through observation, hands-on experiences and numerous writing exercises. We`ll define creative writing, discuss ways to generate ideas and stretch your writing muscles, and identify the components of good poems and fiction. You`ll write haiku and short stories, share your work during class and critique fellow students` efforts. It all adds up to an exciting journey of self-discovery and self-expression.
