Creative Writing I focuses on freeing our creative expression, not directing it. It helps you to loosen up and free your feelings, thoughts, emotions, hunches -- anything and everything that pops into your mind and heart. It teaches you to let go, relax and see what happens, to trust your inspirational muse and follow it. It teaches you to trust yourself and all the possible paths that come forth in trusting yourself.

Creative Writing II focuses on exploring your writing style. It guides you to balancing creative expression and structure. It teaches you to view structure as the framework around a piece of art, that you have created. It puts the polish on that beautiful expression and thus makes it functionable. It shows you how to produce a written piece of art.

Creative Writing III focuses on adding technique to enhance effectiveness, deliberation, and control a desired outcome. It teaches you writing techniques, as if they were a film-maker's special effects, that you purposefully and deliberately embed into your writing for the purpose of gaining a desired outcome from your reader.

This course consists of all three creative writing courses in one! It starts with Creative Writing I, which shows you how to free your creative expression through some really exciting exercises that expand your imagination and creativity. Creative Writing II explores the nine possibilities for writing styles and tries your hand at a rainbow of writing in the various non-fiction and fiction genres. Creative Writing III shows you the bedazzling techniques of the pros through an experiential journey of exercises: characterization, dialogue, perspective, rhythm and pace, symbolism-foreshadowing-legacy, sensory details and color. The course gives you far more than your money's worth, particularly if you are planning on taking one of the creative writing courses. The course is rich in experiential exercises that take you on a writer's journey.
