Pace Yourself

Haven't had the time or the right schedule to take a Writespace workshop but still want to delve into the craft of writing?

We've got you covered!

Writespace is building a library of independent study workshops through Wet Ink, an online learning platform designed for writers and writing classes. Whether you have a few hours on a weeknight or only an hour at lunch, these workshops are designed for those of us who just can't get to a three-hour class on Saturday or attend the six-week workshop on Tuesday nights but still want to hone their writing craft. Pace Yourself classes will give writers instruction while also providing an opportunity to interact with guided prompts in order to help build a solid body of work. 

When you purchase a Pace Yourself workshop, you will receive an invitation to Wet Ink to access the workshop. You are free to complete the content and exercises entirely at your own pace. There's no class time and no deadlines. It's only you and the work of writing!
​READ ME: 
  • Please note that Pace Yourself workshops are entirely independent. The instructor will not be reviewing work or giving feedback. 
  • A Discord community will be available for those who have taken the workshop and wish to interact with other writers. 
  • Please contact us with any questions at write@writespacehouston.org

Introduction to Creative Writing

INSTRUCTOR: Cassandra Rose Clarke
PRICE: Members $115; Nonmembers $140
LOCATION: Online via Wet Ink
LEVEL: Beginners

This workshop will take writers through a crash course in the three main genres of creative writing. In Fiction, you'll cover the basics of fiction (setting, character, and plot) as well the process of actually writing a story. In Creative Nonfiction, you'll look at journaling as inspiration and discuss the ins and outs of telling (mostly) true stories. And finally, in Poetry, you'll look at poetry as play, as well as spend a bit of time talking about rhyme, meter, and other poetic devices.

Each genre is divided into lessons which include fundamentals, readings, and exercises to give you a solid foundation of creative writing essentials.​
