Creative Journaling and Story Writing COurses
Online Weekly Classes - Postponed until January 2026
Class Format
I offer weekly writing classes that give students the opportunity to explore and take risks with their imagination, and escape into worlds and characters of their own creation. This process eases anxiety, gets us out of our heads and helps us to connect with ourselves.
We begin each session with breathing exercises to slow down the mind and bring us into a creative space. Students are also invited to journal their thoughts and feelings. Journalling greatly improves fluency and helps us understand ourselves better.
The main body of the class begins when I present a writing topic for the day e.g. plot, dialogue, endings, character creation etc. After plenty of examples and time for questions, students are given a writing exercise. These can be done individually or in groups. They can choose whether to work alone or with others. At the end of the writing sessions, I invite students to read their work aloud. Nobody has to read their work aloud. It is entirely optional.
Every term I invite students to email me up to 1000 words of their writing for written feedback. It can be writing they have done with me in class, at home or in school. They do not have to type it up. They can email me a photo of their hand written work.
