OSHER 558 - Writing From Percolating to Publishing

Take a journey of discovery through writing---everything from unleashing ideas to setting them down to refining and publishing them. Unlock the door to your memories and compose pieces you never dreamt you'd write. We will use the memoir "Past the Pain", as well as "Writer's Market" and other writing guides to steer through the writing process and launch on a course toward publishing, now or in the future, through traditional publishing houses, self-publishing, or nontraditional giving of your works to loved ones. Class lectures, in-class writing exercises, peer response and actual publishing models will propel you toward whatever writing destinations you choose. Bring a notebook and pen to class.
