Creative Writing 20 Outline
Creative writing is defined as any writing where the purpose is to express thoughts, feelings, and emotions rather than to simply convey information. This course will ask the writer to share their ideas of humanity through a variety of styles such as journal entries, poetry, play scripts, fiction, and non-fiction storytelling. Lessons guiding you through the process will be provided in the class to enable you to create new levels of writing that will engage any reader.
