New Con Ed Writing Course at Trent starts March 19!
Remember, award winning critic and blogger Derek Newman-Stille and I are teaching a creative writing class that begins this week. We are teaching it through Trent's Continuing Education department, which means it is open to all community members (not just current university students). So if you are interested in creative writing or even if you just want to try something new, make sure to sign up today.
While this class is called Writing Speculative Fiction, it leans heavily towards "mainstream." For example, in Thursday's inaugural class on character, it's wonderful if you want to write about a robot or an alien, but it isn't necessary. We expect most people will focus on humans!
As well, it's fine to sign up for one or two classes if that's what you can afford right now or if it's all you're interested in. Signing up for all eight classes is optional.
Looking forward to seeing you on Thursday night!
Call 705-748-1736 to register.

Have you ever thought about putting "pen to paper", but didn't know where to start? Then sign up for the remaining seven sessions ($140, or $20 per session). At last night's class everyone was somewhat hesitant to create and then read out our character description, followed by a monologue of same character; but with Ursula's encouragement, we all lost our respective inhibitions. Best, she encouraged us to listen to what the others had to say, and that was also a learning experience as we surprised ourselves on how such diverse characters were suddenly quite compelling.
