Creative Writing 101 - Sign ups
Hello everyone! Today, I'm coming forward with an idea that I think would be really fun and educational at the same time. Not only for you, but for me as well.
I realize that a lot of people here like writing, but they're afraid to post their work, or they're afraid that their writing isn't good. In order to help, I'm going to try to do a creative writing class right here on PC. This may sound a little crazy, but hear me out. Every Monday, (hopefully starting next week) I'll post a thread explaining a different point of writing. From writing believable dialogue, to showing v telling, I'll try my best to cover it all. If you have any questions about that lesson, there will be a discussion going on below in the comments, and I'll be happy to answer any questions you may have. In addition to the thread, I will also be assigning "homework". Before you roll your eyes and go away, the homework will the optional. It's only meant for the people that have the free time to do it, and want the most out of this opportunity. Just submit the homework to me via PM, and I'll do my best to provide specific feedback on what you're doing. It won't take too long, so don't worry about it. So I do have some time to grade it, I will only be taking homework up until the Saturday of the week that the thread was posted. After that, I hold the right to refuse to work on it. Don't worry, this is going to be a lot simpler than it seems. All threads will remain open for discussion, even after the thread for next week is posted. If you're already the world's greatest expert on plotting, you can skip the week where we cover plotting, and pick right back up the next week. If Sally completely forgets to look at this the first two weeks, then Sally can join in on the third week. If Billy decides that writing isn't really for him, then Billy can stop. Basically, the only things that will be on a schedule is me, and the homework. Other than that, you guys are free to jump around to the various threads and contribute to the discussions. As currently planned, this will be a seven week class. We will cover a huge variety of topics every writer must face. The purpose of this thread is to gauge the interest level in something like this. You can post below any questions you may have, whether or not you would be interested in something like this, and if you would like to receive PM/VM notifications from me whenever a new thread is posted. Let me know what you think! |
Yes, yes! Count me in! I'd like to learn to be a better writer so hopefully I'll be more confident about my work :3
|
Oh, I guess that I should mention that this will be a back to basics course. So, this is angled more for new writers, but if you're an experienced writer and want to go back to the basics, then this is great for you!

Generic sign up post whee. At the very least I'll read discussions/say stuff, haha. We'll see what time allows.

Also, what sort of homework can one expect as well. I mean, I know already, but the members may not. ;p |

Alright, here's the skeleton of what this class is going to look like: Spoiler:

This sounds like a blast - count me in!
|
Fair enough point there. Still, if I do any I might just post it in the thread too (probably in a spoiler) because I like opinions. :B

I think I'm going to be in, too.
|
I'd like to join this. It sounds pretty cool.......
Anyway, this is a nice opportunity to improve my writing. |
Yeah, I'll sign up for this. Although, I might need a reminder when you actually get started on it.

I'm interested! I did take a creative writing class in highschool butwe were hardly taught and it was more just write a story around given theme and share it.
I might need a reminder too. So we can submit and also share if we want? Sounds good. I look forward to enhancing my writing! :) |
I think this will help a bit with my writing, this should be fun so...
Count me in! |
I'm not entirely sure I'll be able to make it the first week, but this definitely looks like something I'd love to take part in! Consider this a sign up!
|
This seems really cool, I'll join!
I might need reminding too, because I'm not good at using this strange machines people call memories. |
Count me in, I can never learn enough about writing!

Yay, people are signing up! I'm so happy. :D |
I'll join! I don't want to let an opportunity like this pass me by. :3
Oh, and I might need reminders too. I'm very forgetful and sometimes spacey. If something's not in my routine, it's usually easier for me to forget about it. |

Really wish you did this when the semester was over :( but still nonetheless, count me in!
|
Considering how erratic my writing has been over the past couple of weeks, you might have to spank me when I fail to deliver homework in time. But since it's all for my own sake and not hurting anyone else, I can at least try 8) Sign me up, please.
|
I'm not signing up for the class, but I am offering assistance any way I can. Slayr I already talked to you about it a bit.
|
I am interested. I returned to writing a few months ago, but I've found that seeing too many perspectives isn't really a problem that happens in writing.
|
ohmygosh, i think this will be really fun! signing up!
