Words Open Worlds

Open to all students who wish to "loosen up" and write with more creative ease. Writing exercises with props, pictures and games may inspire some actual works of literary brilliance, or at least readability! Work will be read aloud among the group (but only if you wish) and thoughts shared – giving and receiving feedback (not criticism) is a key element of improving one’s writing skills. But do leave the "inner critic" at home! You may complete this course alone for 0.5 credit point (0,5 Leistungspunkt), or combine it with Creative Writing 2 to obtain one full credit point (1 Leistungspunkt).

To participate in this workshop, you will have attended Workshop 1 OR you will have done some writing on your own, recently or in the past. You will have the opportunity to focus on what you would like to write, be it short stories, poems, creative non-fiction or a novel. We will share our work and give feedback. Tips on various aspects such as hooking the reader, refining the plot, character development, writing from experience and finding your own voice will be provided. You may complete this course alone for 0.5 credit point (0,5 Leistungspunkt), or combine it with Creative Writing 1 to obtain one full credit point (1 Leistungspunkt).
