| Description: | This course is geared toward students seriously motivated to write creatively and constructively through inspiration and self-discipline.

This class focuses on both theoretical and practical aspects of creative writing by providing the basic principles and techniques that should be used when producing a written piece. Through inspirational exercises, the student will use the art of creative writing as a tool for literary expression and self-awareness. Reading work out loud for discussion and in-class critiquing allows the students to develop a critical awareness of their own writing as well as following the inspirational and editing process of fellow classmates.
