Lit Fest 2024

In this class, you’ll develop a set of story elements through quick writing exercises designed to break through your inner critic and put words on the page. We’ll work on focussed prompts that build on one another to generate interrelated narrative fragments, such as characters, setting, plot, beginning, and ending. At the end, you will have (hopefully!) the skeleton of a complete story draft. These exercises will help you break free some useful writing or ideas for future writing, but the focus on individual aspects of craft will also lead us to some insights into the nature of narrative itself.
