Course Description: Writing in Motion: From Ideas to Essays

Get your ideas onto the page and turn rough writing into something stronger. This hands-on workshop is designed for writers at any stage who want to generate new ideas, develop a piece of writing or refine an essay already in progress. Through guided writing exercises and discussion, you'll explore strategies for overcoming the blank page, developing your ideas, strengthening structure and voice and making thoughtful revisions. You'll have time to write, experiment and receive constructive feedback in a supportive workshop environment. Bring an idea, a work-in-progress or simply your curiosity and a willingness to write.
