Writing into the Dark with S.T. Gibson
Whether you identify as a gardener, a discovery writer, a platnser, or a headlights writer, many of us excell when we approach drafting with a combination of planning and spontaneity. In this class, students will become acquainted with a variety of blended drafting strategies and tools they can use to discovery-write themselves to a finished draft. They will learn where their novel's outlined "setpieces" and "tentpoles" should be while getting in tune with their artistic instincts and agility. We'll discuss how to recover when we hit the walls of planning gone wrong or get mired in the muck of misfiring intuition, revising with an eye for structure, and what sort of modifications to our processes different speculative subgenres may require.
Class will take place virtually October 5, 2025 at 2:30 PM EST.
