TR 03:30 PM – 04:50 PM
In this course, we will further practice and study the craft of writing fiction. We will focus, on a deeper level, on some of the basic elements of fiction. In this course, we will approach our stories from a question of plot and pacing. While we will read a sample of published fiction, the primary text in the course will be the work of your peers. Questions will include, What causes the story to start and stop? Why is this night (or day) different from all other nights? What’s going on in the story, and what’s really going on? Students should be prepared to write 2-3 short stories over the course of the semester.
