Start Your New Year Off Write!

Douglass Street Writing Laboratory Winter 2009 Session

On a roll with your writing? Need a shot in the arm? Have you been procrastinating? Need some structure? Fun?

Fiction, Creative Non, and Beyond 

A Creative Writing Laboratory 

When: 8 consecutive Tuesdays, starting January 20th, 2009. 

What time: 7-9:30pm.

Where: A spacious private home near both the Castro and Noe Valley with easy parking and access to MUNI. 

Cost: $395.00

Intimate writing laboratory (a place to research, experiment, measure, review, and revise) for all levels. 

• Experienced writers should expect to build upon their craft skills and deepen their characterizations. 

• "Beginners" should expect to learn a useful, creative writing vocabulary and to experience how precision, concreteness, expansiveness, and generosity work together to form compelling and scintillating prose.

• All should expect to take their work, but not themselves, seriously (plan to have fun WHILE digging deep in an environment that will be at once focused and relaxed).

Non-writer-identified folks, avid readers, and creative artists (actors, dancers, musicians, etc.) are welcomed, encouraged to attend. 

Class Size: 8-13 people. 

Notes:

• You will not be responsible to write written feedback for your peers. Reading/feedback will take place in "the lab" and there will be the option of posting and responding online in between sessions.  

• The Douglass Lab is also home to a cat, should that be relevant to you.
