Prose Room, Literary Arts Center at Alumni HallĬourse Description: How do we begin a story, an essay, a revision, a writing day, a writing practice? How do we find a shape for an empty page, words for an as-yet unarticulated thought? How do we begin a piece of writing so that others want to begin reading it? And how do we start over when we need to? We’ll practice some jump-starts for our own writing, read and discuss some starts you’ve already made, look at some great first paragraphs for inspiration, plan for what comes next, and talk together about how we meet the difficulties and joys of starting each writing day.
