 ><h2>Class Description</h2><h3 style="font-weight: 400\;"><strong>A message
  from Zac about the course:</strong></h3><p style="font-weight: 400\;">It’s
  time to get that project together\; the one you’ve had rattling around in 
 there for a while\, and have probably taken all those notes on. Or\, perhap
 s\, it’s time to take a good hard look at the project you’ve started once o
 r twice that may need an entire re-thinking. It might even be time to resur
 rect that screenplay that should\, after all\, be a novel. We’re not going 
 to get that project done in a summer session\, but we are going to get it r
 e-developed so that you can finally write it.</p><p style="font-weight: 400
 \;">Through exercises in visualization\, character explorations\, and chang
 e of perspective\, students uncover new information and burst through the w
 alls of what’s keeping the project under wraps. Through workshops in adapta
 tion\, guest speakers from various forms of writing (designed in conjunctio
 n with the goals of the participants)\, and in-class writing\, we’ll develo
 p a packet of information that will allow students to leave with new method
 s for their writing process\, a fresh start at a beloved project\, and an e
 normous amount of information to help them write and completing the project
  they’ve been meaning to get done.</p><p><iframe title="YouTube video playe
