Two Grub St. Summer classes given in Cohasset
Jumpstart Your Writing, Section B
6 Tuesdays, 6:30-9:30pm at Buttonwood Books in Cohasset. Begins June 28th.
This course has a very clear mission: devote three hours of your week to writing. Through a series of fun directed writing exercises, we will explore the terrain of fiction and non-fiction: mining for material, constructing characters and settings, shaping vivid dialogue, understanding point of view, and finding your voice. We will discuss the process of writing and the strengths and weaknesses of the work we produce in class. We may read and discuss some short published texts in regards to craft, then write exercises inspired by the texts. A supportive and generative experience for both new and practicing writers.
Instructor: Lynne Griffin
Level: For Everyone Type: Full-length Workshop
Registration Deadline: Tuesday, June 28, 2011
There are 12 seats remaining in this class.

6 Wednesdays, 6:30pm-9:30pm at Buttonwood Books in Cohasset. Begins June 29th.
To become better writers, we must not only read great books, but read them more actively. This term, get back to the reason why you wanted to write in the first place: to create fiction that lasts, that matters. For six weeks, we will read and discuss some of the best stories in contemporary and classic literature, as well as selected essays from Francine Prose’s book, Reading Like A Writer. We will also do short, weekly writing exercises designed to get us inside authors’ heads and unlock their secrets. By the end, we’ll have trained ourselves to read for craft as well as for pleasure, and you’ll see that your favorite writers aren’t magically gifted beings, to be admired and exalted — they’re your teachers.
