Freewriting 200 provides and in-depth look at the writing tools and real-life subjects you necessary to examine and understand your own life. Each week, we'll apply particular strategies specially suited to examining the themes of the week. Each week will involve three freewriting exercises of five to fifteen minutes, and students will be invited to submit their work for instructor and student feedback.

Week 1 - Places and Nouns - Using lists to develop word association

Week 2 - Names and People - Using memory webs to link memory and emotion

Week 3 - Things and Verbs - Discovering our habits from the details of the real-life setting.

This course will be taught as an intimate workshop. Depending on the number who register, students may be split into smaller workshop groups. All students who wish to share their work will be welcome to do so.

Previously, I listed a $20 fee for this course. I have decided that given the new nature of the site, it's more appropriate that this class be free. Please feel free to register below for three weeks of personal freewriting geared toward your memoir.
