I am teaching a creative writing class for Cypress Homeschool Co-op. We meet every Monday and I am going to be posting an overview of what we covered each week in class. That way for those of you who couldn't take my class because of distance and/or time you may participate on the internet if you choose to do so. You could email me or post directly to this blog in hopes that we can share our love of creative writing with each other. So anyone who is interested just dive right in! I will post assignments so just complete the assignment and follow along. The first assignment is more fun with several people but it can also be completely independent.
January 12: Collaborative Introduction to Creative Writing
Two people come out of a building and into a story. Who are they? What are they doing? Sit in a circle. Write for 5 minutes then pass to the left. Once you get your own story back read it over.
To help people organize their ideas and thoughts Chris has created a simple program that allows people to create an outline. It is simple but it organizes things in a central place so you can brainstorm and write on the same page. You can save it and go back and work on it as needed (no scattered papers just scattered thoughts). If you would like to try this out just let us know and we will e-mail you a copy.
