Module 3 of Creative Writing: Weekend Intensive.
Discussion-based
Write in the New Year!
On December 29th (Friday), 30th (Saturday), and 31st (Sunday), we're going to celebrate creativity by attempting a complete short story! Our format will include eight SPACE class sessions, WriterSpace focus time in excellent company, Bandersnatch Breakout room for talking about our craft, peer feedback through google doc commenting and breakout room conversations, and an enthusiastic ringing in of the new year. So sharpen your quills, line up the inkpots, and make a BIG casserole to last the weekend.
Here's the plan:

•••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••
Our goal is to create a completed short work in one weekend! Prompts, planning, focus methods, peer encouragement, machete editing, character crucibles — we’ll do it all. Writers will write between sessions as well as during.
You are going to end this amazing experience with a complete first draft of your story. What a way to begin 2024!
