Easy Steps to Great Grammar
Writing Creative Writing: City Fiction Cities are spaces forever in flux. Neighborhoods change, buildings are razed and new ones take their places, people move in and out. Within this environment, the writer attempts to capture the pace, the texture and the meaning of urban living. Among the most accomplished writers in the genre are Saul Bellow, James Baldwin, James Joyce, Virginia Woolf and many others. Contemporary writers like Tommy Orange and Sayaka Murata have explored the emergence of new and forgotten identities in urban spaces. By reading excerpts and short fiction, students will learn the techniques that allow these eminent authors to create narratives that revolve around the city. These techniques will then be practiced, refined and implemented into the students’ own writing through a series of assignments. 6425 6/29/2021 - 8/17/2021 6:30 - 8:30PM 8 ses Tu Challinor Online; Zoom $175

Move your body, take some deep breaths or step outside for a breath of fresh air. • Be patient with yourself—adjusting to online learning is a big change.
