Morning Pages

Catalog description

Working writers swear that in order to have a productive writing life one needs to establish a writing routine or practice. Those practices differ from person to person but most revolve around setting aside designated writing time every day. In this class students will commit to setting their alarm clocks 30 minutes earlier than usual in order to devote the start of each and every (week)day to writing. During the course of the semester students will develop robust early morning writing practices that center around observation, recollection, and remaining open to mystery. In short: this is a course focused on the practice and process of writing.
