Over the next little while I'll jot down some of the ideas that the lessons are sparking in me. I am really enjoying being introduced to so many other great works and writers through Joyce Carol Oates. I think this course will also provide a lot of beneficial insights that will form part of my doctoral study.
Lesson one: Introduction
Lesson two: Principles of writing short fiction
That's a lot more homework than we had in the first session! I am going to give myself a tick for the fifth exercise because I regularly seek feedback on my work. I'll report back on the rest of the homework in my next MasterClass post! Comments are closed.
