Story Workout
Thursdays, September 30 to November 4
Join this “Workout” class that combines in-class writing exercises, take home writing assignments and discussion of our work. It is a fun, invigorating way to open your imagination and sharpen your story craft skills. A wonderful way to keep your writing muscle nice and loose.
You’ll leave each class with a couple “story starts” or scenes, and a better sense of direction for projects that you have in progress. Plus you’ll have the opportunity to receive instructor feedback on a working draft.
Come work out your writing muscle!
StoryStudio classes are typically limited to 15 participants or fewer. This intimate setting allows for greater interaction and personal attention.
Writer’s Roadmap This is an excellent course for beginning and intermediate writers interested in Fiction, especially those who may feel blocked or wish to develop a set of characters and sharpen their craft skills. (Non-fiction writers should take a look at Lifewriting.)
Story Workout may be taken multiple times. After completing this class, writers should consider Craft of Novel Writing or Craft of the Short Story (coming in Spring). Intermediate writers may wish to join the Short Story Workshop or Novel Workshop (coming in Spring).
About the Instructor: A freelance writer with an MFA in creative Writing from The School of the Art Institute of Chicago, Sarah Terez Rosenblum’s select publications include Ignavia Press, Fictionatwork.com, The Sun Times, The Windy City Times, The Shepherd Express and Venus Magazine. She is Theater Listings Manager for centerstage.com, a twice-weekly blogger for The Chicago Sun Times, and a Spinning instructor, which means sometimes she forgets where she is and hollers at Creative Writing students to feel the burn. That won’t be a problem, will it?.
Date/Time: Thursdays, 9/30 to 11/4; 6:30 to 9:00pm
