Good writing is clear and concise, and it works.
It captures the reader's attention and holds it. It informs, it entertains, it persuades. Good writers are constantly exploring ways of expressing what they are thinking, and all writing requires intelligence, hard work, and creativity. Whether writers are engaging in fiction, poetry, drama, non-fiction, technical writing or the dozens of other types of written expression, they must be creative in order to be successful. One unwritten goal for this class is to take students through formula writing and beyond.
