Section Info:
CW 463: Storymaking for the Page - In this intensive fiction writing class, we will learn how to write for the page. Although there are many forms of narrative art—from television to film to theater to video games—this class will focus on just a single one: literature. That is to say, storymaking for the page. Through a series of discussions, lectures, small workshops, published readings, and—above all—intensive, focused writing exercises, we will sharpen the skills needed to write effective fiction. Creative assignments will be frequent, short, and focused: point of view, dialogue, setting, motivation, interiority, action, etc. We will focus on the words you choose, the sentences you construct, and how to begin to string these together into compelling stories for the page.
Restriction(s):
Restricted to Creative Writing or Creative Writing major(s) or minor(s).
Restricted to Graduate - Urbana-Champaign.
