Creative Writing from Mythology - Fall 2024 - Registration

Meeting times: Wednesdays, 1-2pm Pacific (4-5pm Eastern), September 25 - November 20

In this class we will play with writing prompts based on a variety of world mythologies: Greek and Roman, Norse, and others. Every class session will include looking at a mythological story together, discussing its themes and images, and then doing an in-class writing prompt based on that story. At the end of the session we’ll talk about how it went and share our writing. We’ll emphasize freewriting, playfulness, and experimentation—students will be encouraged to follow their creative urges wherever they lead! In the last part of the course we’ll look back at the drafts we’ve written, choose one piece to polish up (with feedback from classmates), and put the revised pieces together into a class chapbook.
