Online Creative Writing Coursesonline creative writing course… Work at your own pace and get special attention. Online creative writing courses have revolutionized writing instruction just as the internet has revolutionized our daily lives. Never before has it been so easy to get special attention from a writing expert, nor have students ever had such a vast playing field as the internet for testing their talents. A novice writer can post articles, stories and poems on multitudes of blogs and websites and even create several of their own. For information about my online creative writing courses, click here.
Elitists and those from the old school who base a person's worth on certificates and degrees from accredited institutions may consider this democratic approach to teaching creative writing a disaster. After all, they argue, who are the literary judges and tastemakers but the people… and of what value are the people's opinions?!! ("Let them eat cake!") These diehards are about to vanish from the literary scene—and it's about time. The true worth of a writer is certainly not their wall of framed certificates and awards, but their ability to express themselves in such a way that those who read their works are changed forever. Perhaps there is no greater citation for a writer than to know that they are able to give their readers a memorable experience. I consider the opportunity to teach writing courses and work with highly gifted individuals a rare treat, so the gratitude travels both ways! Also, in the past when teaching creative writing at a university, I didn't have the advantages of flexibility and informality. Online creative writing courses can be compared to former days when master artists kept a studio or "stall" of apprentices who modeled their works after their teacher's style. In one important way, fortunately, we've advanced beyond that stage. Today we teachers do not task anyone to imitate us. Rather, we encourage originality and innovation and help our students resonate with who they are rather than trying to imitate who we are.
