30 Community Education www.ClovisCommunityEd.com | 559.327.2876 COMMUNITY EDUCATION WRITING CREATIVE WRITING Always wanted to be a writer? Love writing but feeling stuck? Need some inspiration again? Let’s fill your well with inspiration! This is a class that will challenge you to try new things, explore new techniques, and be willing to “get messy” with your creative process. Rather than a traditional workshop where you work on one piece, or an overview of genre, this class will split our time between the examination of specific writing techniques, and then trying them by literally writing and sharing in session. By studying examples of effective writing in multiple styles (and trying to emulate them ourselves!) students will take with them a renewed sense of creativity and powerful skills to apply to their larger projects.
