This workshop focuses on possibilities within a work of fiction—what are the possibilities and limitations found in choices of narrative point of view, syntax, time, memory, story structure, sentences, omission, openings, closure, objects, dialogue, and a narrative’s leaps and speed. How do we clear away obvious ways of sounding on the page in order to uncover necessary voices? What are our essential and necessary stories? How do we witness and render the physical world on the page? This is a generative workshop. Students should be ready to write all week and come away with new drafts and beginnings.
LIVE ELEMENTS: **This course will be held on Zoom. Class will be held from 12-2 PM EST Monday – Friday.**
