Six week class: "Let's Talk About Writing"
"Let's Talk Writing with Lois Simmie will, over six weekly sessions,
address problems that plague beginning and more advanced writers. We
will talk about plot, sub plot and structure; point of view and
characterization; setting, language, dialogue, the importance of
original detail and more. We each have an original story to tell; no
one else has lived your life with your unique experiences. And don't
feel intimidated, remember writers are not great thinkers or
philosophers, we are story tellers.
The first half of each class will focus on the above elements; in the
second half we will work on improving your work through class
discussion and feedback.
For our first class please bring one or two pages describing something
that happened to you when you were a child. Short assignments will
also be given and read in each class, with assigned homework. Let's
have a good time talking about writing, the best of all professions.
You don't have to wear a suit of pantihose.
Lois Simmie's fifteen books include short story collections, novels,
award-winning children's picture books and poetry, and a non-fiction
book The Secret Lives of Sgt. John Wilson, which won the Crime Writers
of Canada Non Fiction Award."
