ONLINE: Let your creative birds fly during this summer fling! This will be a seriously fun time to enhance your writing repertoire. Participants will be given a choice of prompts to try their hand at different types of writing. Prompts help jump start all kinds of pieces. Focusing on the one you fancy, you will write a short piece of one to two pages. One week you may try your hand at writing a soliloquy, the next an “advice” column in the spirit of Dear Abby. You will practice the art of persuasion: for example, what candy bar is the best? Participants will email their essays to the instructor a day and a half before class, and will receive the collected essays the day before class. Class time will be spent discussing, appreciating and responding to your essays with an eye towards honing them. All that is necessary is an adventurous spirit! | Facilitated discussion.
