WRITING WORKSHOP — INTRO TO WRITING THE NOVEL
Lighthouse Writers Workshop
Calling all daytime writers who aspire to write a novel or have already started the ambitious task. This course will aim to provide direction and guidance, and we’ll also appreciate the camaraderie of writing with peers in an encouraging space. For the first four to five weeks, we’ll break down the process of writing a novel, covering areas such as narrative structure, point of view, setting, character development, and use of language. During this time, writers can expect in-class writing exercises, discussion, and short lectures. For the remaining weeks, everyone will have the chance to workshop up to ten pages of their work-in-progress in a positive, constructive environment. Above all we’ll tackle this challenge together, never losing sight of what we love about writing in the first place.
This is an in-person class that meets Wednesdays from 10am to noon MDT from October 18 to December 13. This class will skip Thanksgiving week.
