"Craft," generally denoting a set of skills or toolbox for writers, is impossible to learn without actual writing, which is why teaching abstract concepts to beginning writers offers very little return on investment. But in this class, for intermediate writers who are dedicated and self-aware of their writing practice, such craft sets as editing, revision, concision, and expansion are helpful concepts, inherent in the workshopping process. By sharing work with each other, we will learn to "reverse-engineer" how they are created, seeing how their component parts add up (or don't) to the greater whole. Please bring copies of your work to share with the group.
