The session will be held in the Burgess Room of the Batten Arts and Letters Building. It is free and open to the public. Teaching is a humble profession, according to Gerard, who says he finds success with his students most often when he sits and talks with them instead of lecturing to them. Each semester, Gerard teaches workshops in fiction and nonfiction for novices and experienced writers. The workshops are intended to complement literature courses because they teach students how to read with precision, he said.
Writing is that way.
You do all your research and planning in advance so you can relax when you sit down and do it by instinct. The exhilaration . . . comes when you're hooked in and everything is going well. For more information about the March 4 workshop call 683-4770.
