Instructor Statement: It is my belief that our adult brains are constrained and compartmentalized by our decades of learning, which is why coming up with an idea and turning it into a story and then writing it can be outright painful. While I can't turn back the clock, I can help remold your brains into creative generators that can see the possibility of story in every idea while developing it into a fully-formed plot and then draft it all the way through to 'The End.' My expectation is that you have no expectations. You may enter with an idea, but you may leave the class with ten totally different, fully-fleshed out ideas. It is not my intention to hold your hand and take you on a brief writing journey, but to hand you the tools that you can use for an entire lifetime's worth of stories. I will teach you all the ways you can harness your undiscovered abilities if you allow yourself to free your mind from its restrictions, while understanding the value of listening to others and learning to critique kindly, honestly and without judgment.
