Writing

FIRST WORDS 1 with Barbara Nathan Though spellbinding in its effects, creative writing itself isn’t magical. Whether you’ve always wanted to write and not known where to start, or just want to start scribbling, we’ll make a beginning. Take a peep at attitudes affecting creativity and at what stops us writing. We’ll then plunge headlong into sorting story ideas, exploring characters, description and dialogue, learning how to give feedback, and revising and editing. 6 Thu, 3 Nov - 8 Dec 1:30 - 4:30 pm Byron Concession: $243 Full Fee: $270 *Ace Program Fee: $0 ($50 admin fee applies) see p. 4 THE PROPOSAL with Wendy Champagne NEW Writers and filmmakers, get the guidance you need to move through the early steps of your Project and onto a finished proposal.
