![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Session I: Whose story is it? The very first choice we make, often unconsciously, when starting to write a story is the point of view from which it is told.I want my writers to leave our time together feeling confident in their strengths, aware of where they should keep challenging themselves, and completely capable of reaching their writing goals. As an instructor, I strive to facilitate supportive and inspiring spaces for both generative and more critical workshop courses. Each writer can expect to leave this course with a new awareness of the essential craft elements of story form (concrete detail, characterization, point of view, conflict, dialogue, setting), as well as a nearly complete, if not finished, a story. If time and interest exist, we may share and discuss some of our in-progress work, but the main goal of this course is to get (re)acquainted with the fundamentals of great storytelling and to make new work. From these discussions we will take inspiration and have two opportunities to write, responding to craft-relevant writing exercises. Our discussion of these stories will lead us into brief talks on the fundamentals of craft at work in each. Each week we will read one well-regarded story, from modern masters to a Joyce classic. This course is designed for writers just starting out as well as intermediate writers looking to gain new insight into their process. To join the waitlist, please email Randy Winston at. ![]()
