Finding Purpose: The Importance of Pre-Writing

When you read your favorite pieces from other writers, it’s often forgotten that what you’re looking at is only the final product of unknown countless hours of reflection, note-taking, and planning.

In this class you will focus on pre-writing, arguably one of the most important stages in one’s writing process, regardless of genre or medium.

Together you’ll tackle various outlining techniques in order to gain inspiration, brainstorm and map ideas, and hone in on the purpose of our pieces. By compartmentalizing and appreciating the many moving parts of our stories, you can gain more confidence in our ability to tell them.

This class is intended for anyone with an interest in outlining an existing original project or idea, especially if one is struggling to do so.

Students will leave with varied pre-writing techniques that will give them confidence for future writing projects, and at least one plan for a new or in-progress written work.
