Your list of materials for this writing course is very short. You need some paper and a writing implement. I recommend a really cheap spiral-bound notebook. My favorite at the moment are the 70-page one-subject notebooks you can get for ten cents each during back-to-school sales. If it isn’t back-to-school time, you can still get those notebooks, they just cost a little more. A legal pad, or anything of that sort will do; so will three-hole lined paper stuck into a binder, or tied together with yarn. If it’s lined and you can write your assignments on the pages, it will be sufficient for your needs.
For your writing implement, grab either a pencil or a ball-point pen, whichever you prefer. Your entire set of course materials should be obtainable for less than $3.00.
Each lesson in the grid below will be enabled in order, for a period of two weeks. If you’ve missed the beginning of the class, jump in now, and eventually it will cycle around to the lessons you’ve missed. We’re working on collecting all the lessons into a book that will save you a lot of time in taking the course.
Think of it as a college class. You are my virtual student; each chapter is the lecture. You may take notes if you’d like, in your notebook. At the end of each chapter is an assignment. Your assignments should be written in your notebook. By the time you finish working through this course, you will be ready to write a novel.
Feel free to contact me if the assignment doesn’t seem clear. My email address is anne@am-jenner.com. I love to hear from my students.
