E406: Ablaze: Feeding the Flame 2: Creative Writing for Writers (OS673) (online via Myplace)

Creative Writing online anytime (Blaze)

10 credits (Applied Writing)

Open to anyone who has writing experience and is confident in sharing their work, or who has completed 'Feeding the Flame' or the on-campus version 'Creative Writing for Writers: Taking Your Creative Writing Further 2' Ablaze will cover topics including Dialogue Management, Perspective, Plotting and Structure, Style, Research and Getting into Print. This class is delivered through Myplace, the University's virtual learning environment, allowing you to work in your own time. It will continue with the same weekly structure to keep you inspired and motivated and to help you further build on your writing skills and experience. As ever, in-depth feedback will be offered on submitted writing and the tutor will be on hand to guide you in getting the best from your creative writing. Note that this class is the online, credit-bearing version of the 'Taking Your Creative Writing Further 3' class (OS175/OS282). Credit can be awarded for either class, but not both.

Within the class confirmation email you will find a link to CLL’s 'Learning Guides' webpage providing all the relevant information for starting the class. Prior to the class start date IT Services will issue your Myplace username and password in two separate emails.

Please note the Myplace site will open on the start date of the class, and is then accessible for the full duration of the class (there are no scheduled weekly sessions). You will be notified via Myplace of dates of any live chat opportunities.
