Writing Affinities: The Impelled Second-Person Story
Introductory | Reginald McKnight proposes a story told by a particular person to a particular person—at a particular time, for a particular reason. In this workshop, we will generate a story that smuggles a secret from your life into a monologue spoken by an invented character. Call this form an “affinity,” where one character fiercely confides in another. We will inventory deep memories, develop a character based on a “familiar stranger,” and draft a monologue in prose or poetry.
Beginning Fall 2021, we will be adding select in-person classes back to our course catalog. The majority of our classes will still be offered via Zoom.
If a class says IN-PERSON in its title, it will take place in person at our permanent home in Seattle.
If a class says ASYNCHRONOUS in its title, it will take place on Wet Ink, our asynchronous learning platform.
If a class does not have a marker after its title, it will take place via Zoom.
