This is an eight-session, self-study course, with lectures focusing on how to: gather information to prepare a first draft, revise and polish essays, incorporate elements of storytelling, include universal truths that broaden the lessons you've learned, add authenticity to your stories with the use of details and examples, write despite the critic in your head, come up with your own essay topics, and find paying markets.

This class is for any adult, regardless of age or writing experience, who wants to explore writing as a medium for recording life's journey. Students write homework essays on their own (choose one topic from a list of three) and submit a final essay for detailed critique by the instructor. The instructor is available throughout the course for questions via email.

Many students enjoy taking this course again and again to write on the different homework topics, which change every quarter, and to reread the lecture material from a different perspective as life changes occur.
