Course Description:
This course is designed to teach senior English majors concentrating in Creative Writing the techniques to successfully undertake a semester-long creative project in the genre of their choice. It is intended to help the students develop the habits-of-arts required to write such theses and to provide a forum for feedback during the early stages of composition. In this course we will address issues of drafting and revision, developing a booklist, the use of research in creative work, and, finally, establishing structural and thematic coherence in a novel excerpt, poetry collection, suite of stories, one-act play, and/or screenplay. This course is required of all senior English majors who are planning to write one-semester, creative writing theses. |
