This course will focus on the writing workshop, but we'll begin by discussing both theory and practice of plot, characterization, dialogue, point of view, and narrative time. Then we'll get right to the stories. You are also expected to provide written comments on every story covered in the workshop, as well as to speak out brilliantly, insightfully, and forthrightly during workshop sessions.
Attendance is required.
Participation grade will sicken and die after three absences. Perfect attendance, promptness, preparedness, and active participation in each class are both expected and rewarded. You will duplicate and distribute your work to the class the week before your presentation.
