Put some action into your writing - literally. Besides getting to enhance your writing, you will practice performing your work before others. Prepare dramatic character monologues and learn how to present your work in way that all eyes and ears will be on you. An introduction of poetry writing, sensory image, point of view, and description writing will keep your writing skills sharp, while critical performing and reading methods will get you comfortable with public speaking.

About Me: I love theatre, music, the outdoors and reading. I took French in college, but I’d have to bone up on it if I went to France, which would be my dream trip. I would love to tour Europe and write about my experiences. I”ve taught at colleges all over the country including Pennsylvania, Phoenix, Los Angeles, Austin, and Seattle. I wish I were better at computers and photography.
