How to Think Like a Writer

3 Credits · Level: Undergraduate

How do writers think? What does it take to develop the intellectual tools to write—to really, honestly, *write*? This hybrid course combines elements of the creative writing workshop with approaches from literary studies and critical theory to focus on the inner life of authorship: that is, the reading, thinking, and attentional practices required to create real literary writing. Specific texts, approaches, and focus vary from term to term; please see section description for details about this semester’s offering.
