To write skillfully, writers must have the essentials necessary to write. This workshop titled, ‘Writing: Aggregating the Raw Material’ will not cover what is obviously needed in order write (e.g. pen or pencil, paper, even electronics, etc.), but will examine elements that, to coin a phrase, and metaphorically speaking, ‘the raw material’ needed to write well. For the writer, raw material can come in the form of diction, dictum, metaphor, analogy, etc. Aggregating such raw material will contribute immensely when drafting written composition. This workshop is generative. Instructor commentary included. Participant participation in dialogue and writing is essential. Prompts will serve as inspiration for composition. This workshop is an opportunity for group learning.
