9L: Do Not Think: On Creating and Sustaining the Narrative "Dream" FULL
Limited Capacity filling up

Master novelist and short story writer Richard Bausch says, "Do not think, dream. If you think you're thinking when you're writing, then think again; you're working with the dreaming side of your mind, so dream, dream, dream it through." I could not agree more. I also believe that this holds true whether you’re writing fiction or creative non-fiction and memoir, because when we explore our lives through the subjective lens of our own memories, we’re still "dreaming" our way back.

But how-- technically speaking-- does one "dream" fully and honestly, with mere words? In this session we'll lay out techniques for this approach with a bit of lecture, in-class creative writing exercises, and a constructive critique of what comes out of you, one honest word at a time.
