*Registration for this class closes at midnight on Friday, January 6.
This classic 8-week version of the Round Robin is structured according to a daily exchange of writings emailed to writing partners, who are assigned weekly. Partners offer brief written feedback on one another’s work. The writings are based on daily prompts provided by the facilitator.
You might cover some basic elements of craft in your daily exchanges, but the central focus will be finding the inspiration, motivation, and self-discipline to keep writing and generating raw material that you may eventually choose to rewrite, revise, polish, and publish. The class will involve learning to recognize and appreciate the strength of your natural voice before you have a chance to snuff it out by editing your work too hastily.
Every student must commit to full participation on a daily basis. Time required: 20-30 minutes each day, on average. If you are unable to honor your daily commitment to your writing and to your writing partners, you cannot continue in the class. (Substitutes are available on a limited basis in case of an emergency.)
