This class meets on March 12, 19, 26, April 2, 9 and 16. Each session is 2.5 hours.
We all have stories to tell, whether we’ve never written anything before, or we’re dusting off the old writing muscles and getting back in the game. This class is a foundational course to get started or begin writing fiction again.
We will learn and explore all of the essential fundamentals of the craft of fiction writing. We will discover and begin to understand how to write an active scene, define a character, and move your story from A to B, or Z. We will also learn how to workshop and revise our stories, working to meet our individual goals. It does not matter what prior experience you have with writing. Anyone can tell a story with the right tools. This class provides those tools and teaches you how to use them.
The graduation show will be on Monday, April 21 at 7:00pm as a part of the ASAP Spring 2025 graduation showcase.
