Starting in September, WBTR author member Sheila Lamb will be teaching a 5 week course entitled "Write Now! " at the
Center for the Arts. "Write Now!" is
designed for new writers who are looking for a place to begin.
Let the inspiration flow! We will work on writing fiction and non-fiction prose. This hands-on course will explore elements of the writing craft, including plot development, characters, and setting while developing your voice as a writer. We'll use prompts and free writing exercises designed to get you started on the writing path. Be prepared to share your writing with the class. Bring your notebook and the creativity will emerge!
Dates: Sept. 18 - Oct. 16, 2012
Times: Tues. 7-8:30pm
Location: Center for the Arts at the Candy Factory/Old Town Manassas
