I have never taken a creative
writing class before. Until today that
is. I’ve been one part excited and two
parts terrified. See my blog post – The
Scariest Class of All - Sept 2015.
I really have no idea what to
expect. I took Research Writing a year
ago, but I suspect this style will be more loosey-goosey. Yet, creativity needs a structure of some
kind, doesn’t it? Well, doesn’t it?
The first thing I noticed was
the energy of the people coming into the room.
Wow, talk about loosey-goosey. But
not in a bad way! As I sat in this pool
of energy from about 15 people in a small room, I could feel…hmm...how do I put this into words? There was structure,
yes. But their energy went beyond the structure
in an expansive, explorative way. It felt
like they could go anywhere or do anything using their imagination and writing skills. It was both luring and intimidating. So, how does one acquire such energy? It was rather fearless and I want some.
