Finding Your Voice

Do you want to try your hand at creative writing, whether a novel, a short story, a personal essay, or a memoir, but aren’t sure where to get started? Have you written creatively before but need a boost to get back into it? In this 6-week class at the Lena Park Community Center in DORCHESTER, you will have one mission: to devote three hours of your day to creative writing. Through a series of fun directed exercises, we will explore the terrain of fiction, nonfiction, and poetry: mining for material, constructing characters and settings, shaping vivid dialogue, understanding point of view, and finding your voice. A supportive and generative experience for both new and practicing writers, this is an opportunity for anyone interested to generate new work and jumpstart your creativity.
