This article posting is the foreword, teacher's notes, and table of contents for the "Creative Writing Laboratory" book. To print it, I'd suggest waiting until the entire book is completed, at which time it will be available via Suite101, or download this portion in zipped pdf: http://www.suite101.com/files/topics/176... Dividers between texts indicate page breaks.
I will continue posting the chapters, week-by-week, as they're finalized. The end result will be rather large, but the interest shown in it has already made the work very well worth it!
Please enjoy, and don't hesitate to offer your comments and suggestions!

Seriously, without sounding all infomercial-hype, the purpose of this book is to help you get a good start when you don't know where to start, as well as provide a strong background in writing form.
Consider it a mini-workshop in a book, if you want to - or, if you'd rather, think of it as a personal guidebook, which will help you sharpen your writing skills and enjoy creative writing even more.
How do you use this book?
