Writing/Literature

4 Tues., 6:30-8:30 p.m., University Center Rm. 106. Follow Elizabeth Buzzelli, local acclaimed writer, into the dark places where mysteries are born. Consider all parts of the mystery -- murder, forensics, procedure, the amateur sleuth, dark story, police detective -- and learn how to write each one. Limited to 12 students who are determined to see their work published and are willing to write, then read their work to the class. The only prerequisite is for the writer to love mysteries, read widely in the genre, and come with a determination to write a publishable novel!<br><br>

2 Thurs., 7-9 p.m., University Center Rm. 208. Anais Nin writes, We write to taste life twice, in the moment and in retrospect. In this workshop, you will explore the power of language to convey experiences from your life, and to weigh, with words, the distance between the past and the present. Whether you are trying your hand at writing for the first time, or deep into a memoir of your own, this course invites you to ask questions about the moments of your life that resonate most powerfully in your memory, and to tell your story. Instructor Jaimien Delp, MA in Creative Writing, is a published essayist and poet. Please bring something with which to write (laptop or notebook).
