Whether you just like to daydream or have forged an intricate web of wizards and dwarfs, if you want to write fiction, this class is for you. We’ll explore the main components of writing fiction and explore different styles and genres. We will cover character design and development, imagery, relationship dynamics, symbolism and more! Students will use these skills to gradually develop their own stories by the end of the session, and will have the opportunity to share and read others’.
