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!
