You thought nobody noticed
This is what you need for the journey
Write about sleeping
I want to return to that place
You received a letter
It's what was left behind
Things to do on a Tuesday
Write what you try to forget
Write about a time you changed your mind
Once, with another woman …
Something stolen
While you were driving
How to get started writing? Write.
Write about the best of intentions
Write about a time you wanted to leave but couldn't
You're waiting...
Write about taking risks
There is a memory of a ____________
Write about a bed
You got it second hand
Natural talent and all the breaks in the world notwithstanding, to become good at anything you've got to do the drills.

Conferences
Creative Writing I
Tuesdays, Sept. 30- Dec. 9
6:30 - 9:30 pm
UCSD Extension
Creative writing begins when the spark of an idea ignites the fuel of language. The writer picks up pen and transforms the idea into a narrative. For those who wish to travel the road of creative writing, this class offers a map for the journey. The focus will be on the basic practices and attitudes that will help you become a writer who writes.
This course will provide you with new tools and an open forum for your work. Through lively discussion, examples, in-class exercises, and assignments, we will examine all facets of the writing life, including the elements of style, voice, and dramatic structure. A significant part of each meeting will be devoted to writing or reading and critiquing.
