Gretchen’s Goal: to help inspire and bring out the writer within each and every kind of individual, to coach writing, to provide constructive feedback, to spark ideas, to provide the mental space and time to write. The overall objective for both classes and private sessions is for individuals to gain confidence and experience joy in the process of crafting the written word. This is not about getting something published or scrapbooking or making books. This is not English class. Rules of grammar do not always apply for the kind of work created here. This is writing. And rewriting. The purpose being to complete session six feeling accomplished with finished pieces of work that will last on paper forever.
3.
If I take a class like Mixtape in the Fall Session I and want to take it again in Fall Session II, for example, will it be a repeat of the same class?
4.
No. Even though the names remain the same for classes like SNAPSHOT and MIXTAPE, each session is completely different from any other. There may be similarities in terms of types of writing activities and skills practiced in class; however the content will differ significantly. The experience will push students to grow and expand in their writing no matter what.
