It's as simple as that. But the more you put into this class, the more you will get out of it. Follow the instructions for each assignment carefully. When in doubt, ask me for clarification. I'm happy to answer your questions.
Writing is hard.
It requires discipline, concentration and the ability to view your work critically and objectively. It's also a hugely satisfying thing to have done that hard work, shown that discipline, and then seen the fruit of those labors appear in print with only the lightest and most gentle of editing. So commit some time to this class. Set aside time each week as a regular appointment with yourself. Get in the habit of writing as you have gotten in the habit of brushing your teeth, going to the gym, calling your parents.
