ENG201 - Creative Writing

30 hours - 2.00 semester credit hours

This course will concern itself with the problems (and satisfactions) of writing fiction, whether it is a short story, a play, or story line for an interactive game. Through analysis of published pieces and each other's work, the course will explore a variety of narrative techniques and become familiar with the basic tools of the fiction writer, including methods of characterization, point of view, dialogue, clarity of expression, character, mood and scene. The fine art of revision will also be emphasized.
