Desire as Craft
Genres: Fiction, Nonfiction
Online
Open to all levels
6 Sessions
Desire is the experience of possibility, the burn of anticipation. Longing is the singular vision of what you can’t have. We often conflate the two but learning to separate and yield both creates room for more radical imagination. This generative class will explore desire as a craft element to bring more intimacy, urgency, and possibility into your prose.
