Description
Imagine This!
Too often, people long to write, but fear they don't have anything to write about. Others have a story they want to tell, and no idea how to get started. Through exercises, class discussion, and personal observation, this class will focus on seeing and imagination--the fundamental What's that about?, What's behind it?, What does my character want/need, and What matters, that is the source of story. Four weeks of observing, wondering, and writing will lead to a portfolio of story ideas and a renewed connection to the writer's imagination.
Wednesdays, October 10-31, 2012. 7-9:30pm. Up to 8 writers ($225 each Buy Now Only Bidding for the entire series of classes), over 18 except with permission of the instructor. Classes will be held at 170 The Valley Road, Concord. Please register at 978-369-5430.
