Creative Writing for the Absolute Beginner is the class you've been wanting to take. Have you ever promised yourself that you would 'someday' write a book of fiction, a young adult book, or romantic historical fiction? What about the short story sitting in your mind and wanting to be told, but you don't know how to begin? This class will provide you with the foundational skills to write creatively for any number of applications. We will share our stories as we create a portfolio of inventive, original works of fiction that will impress your family and friends.

Explore the differences and similarities of modern poetry. Find out what you like about a poem, and why you like it.

Write Your Memoir and give this gift of love to your family. This class will provide you with the roadmap to write like a pro. Every memoir has a greater purpose: a lesson or lessons that you learned and want to share with your family and friends. Let's capture those moments. Or perhaps you want to grasp a flash of time like a photograph and write it down before life changes so much that it's forgotten. We will write these unique experiences to entertain your family, enlighten the next generation, inspire others to do great things, instruct those curious about your journey, or for catharsis, and to get your remarkable story on paper.

A supportive writer's room environment both for beginners and more experienced screenwriters. We will review screenplays, short films and formatting. Beginners will concentrate on developing a concept and completing a short script. Those already working on a project will advance their skills and stories in a circle of like minded individuals. Students join over Zoom or in-person at the Port Angeles Campus. This class is offered in partnership with Peninsula Community College.

Join us to ignite your creativity and confidence in all kinds of writing including fiction and non-fiction. Join other writers in overcoming blocks, criticism, and fear; and get words on the page. Taught by a published author. Gaiser Hall - Classroom 205 - Sa 11:00AM - 3:00PM, Su 10:00AM - 1:00PM
