In this class we'll work on getting words on the page while incorporating music as a part of our listening and our writing. We'll spend time looking at lyrics and considering their impact on our own writing, and attempt to actually let these words, rhythms, and patterns work their way into our writing. We'll spend time free-writing by hand and sharing our work, allowing music to be the driving force of our writing.
• In-Class Writing Lift: Heavy
