The first few lessons of this course are similar to the first few lessons in the academic writing course. This cannot be helped since in all writing regardless of type, there are certain basic rules that must be understood from the beginning. However, there are subtle differences in how those fundamentals apply differently in each kind of writing and how far those rules can be stretched or even disregarded to achieve certain reader responses. This course is taught in the MLA format rather then the APA format of the academic writing course and instead of covering how to write a research, position, expository, or compare-contrast paper, it will cover chapter construction, short stories, pros, memoirs, flash and extreme flash fiction and nonfiction, ethnography, character development, scene and setting, etc.
While academic writing and creative writing may at a surface glance seem quite different, they are but two sides on a many-sided coin. To point, even a research paper has to interesting and well-crafted enough to keep the readers interest (though without misrepresenting the research or facts). This course is completed in rough, but each lesson is now being cleaned and tightened and branded. The two lessons currently available are below:
