Writing   

The Write Stuff is about wisdom, laughter, and life—one story at a time. Have you often wondered if you could write a story? Have you dabbled in jotting down thoughts and ideas when inspired but don’t know how to put them all together? If so, then this is the writing group for you! Simple prompts provided during each session will get your creative juices flowing to help you write your own stories. This is a non-judgmental writing program providing positive feedback. No writing experience is necessary. If you can write a grocery list, you can do this! Please bring a notebook and pen to each session. Comments from past participants: “I didn’t know I could write!”

This class is an opportunity to develop your creative writing skills; you may decide to write short fiction, creative nonfiction, poetry, or any other creative genre that appeals to you.  The class will be taught in a workshop format; each week, we’ll read works written by class participants and give them feedback on their work.  As the instructor facilitates the discussion, you’ll gain insight into key elements of creative writing, including sensory detail, pacing, characterization, dialogue, and the use of scenes as the building blocks of narrative. 

In addition to having the opportunity to read and learn from each other’s work, you’ll be provided with a guide to creative writing, available at https://tinyurl.com/w4yt4juy.
