The Art and Craft of Writing
a Superversive Writing Class
For some time, Superversive Press has been talking about putting out a writing course–a series of videos or podcasts. This class would be based on my Writing Tips, my The Three Things I Tell Everyone–my collected information gathered from my years as a professional editor, and on The Art and Craft of Writing, a class I taught last fall.
However, before we can do this, I have to put words on (electronic) paper and figure out what it is that we want to say in each class.
To encourage myself to do this, I am thinking of offering a writing course this November. The course would be specifically tailored to help people doing NANOWRIMO or revising a Work In Progress. The details are as follows.
When: Month of November
Subjects to include:
Description, Mood, Genre, Setting
Adding senses
Backstory vs. Revelation
Adding Exposition
Plot we’ve got, quite a lot
Strong openings
Two Strings
The Trick
Payload
Writing Three Dimensional Characters
Dynamic Characters
Goals and Motivation
The Foil
Heart and Soul – adding emotion
Interior dialogue
“Pink” passages
Cost: $25
This class will be a text-based class with simple exercises designed to help improve style, characters, plot and more.
Slots will be filled on a first come, first served basis.
