Do you long to write but don’t know where to begin? Don’t worry. If you long to write, you’re already halfway there.
Week 1. Self. Where does writing begin? We begin with ourselves: emotions, memories, experience. How can we feed this into our fiction writing?
Week 2. Other People. Writing is about people. We’ll think about observation: how to watch others with a writer’s eye; the importance of dialogue as a tool of character. We make the imaginative leap from ourselves to others, and see how to blend the two together.
Week 3. Language - Making it sing. In short fiction especially, every word should count. We look at ways to avoid cliché and lazy writing. We’ll think about imagery. We’ll learn how we can evoke all the senses and bring our writing to life.
Week 4. Writing the Story. Here we look at how character makes plot. What is your character’s motivation? What does he/she want? What’s preventing him/her getting it? We see how this moves the story forward. We’ll also be thinking about story structures, and try writing our own short piece.
Online. International students are welcome.
How it Works: The course will run for 6 weeks. Each week there will be a video lecture, supported by detailed lecture notes and a classroom discussion. You will also be given a weekly homework assignment.
Course Tutor: Susan Davis
