Writing (and Teaching) with Beginners’ Eyes

This summer I’m excited to be teaching Introduction to Creative Writing through the Continuing Education Program at North Seattle College. I designed this course in response to the many people who told me that they’d like to write but don’t know how to begin and those who want to rekindle a writing practice. All of us, regardless of experience, will be writing with beginner’s eyes, myself included. This 6-week course is for anyone wanting to play around with words in the community of others, create original writing in any genre, and develop a regular writing practice that they can take with them after the class ends—a kind of Moveable Feast that can go anywhere. Class begins Friday, July 11.
