Learn how short stories build from the idea you had into living, breathing fiction in this dynamic real-time writing workshop on StoryMOO, where you'll turn in a short story every two weeks and get preliminary feedback in classmates' notes posted before the workshop meets for the lively online discussion. Class meets online in this electronic community created specially for the course. Discuss your stories with other writers in this special virtual space, with weekly workshops and regular one-on-one conferences with novelist Kit Reed, the instructor. In this user-friendly, text-based environment, anything is possible and nobody cares if you have a bad hair day, because you are what you type - and people know you by how well you can write. Writing-intensive. Tech help available. You can learn more about the class and visit StoryMOO by following instructions at: http://storyfirst.web.wesleyan.edu.
