Instructor: Molly Ovenden If you want to make creative writing a habit, grow in confidence to call yourself a writer, or hone skills you already have, but don’t use much, you’ll get to do that in this class. As we work on regular habits for five weeks, we spend time writing together every week and there will always be a chance to share what you’ve written, but no pressure to do so. All levels are welcome, but this class is aimed at beginning writers and those who have been out of the writing game for a while. Show up to write with a pen or pencil in a notebook or on your electronic device (whatever is most comfortable for you). Course workbook included. This class will be hosted on Zoom. Please include an email address in your Eleyo account.
