About this course:

Sometimes, we don’t know what we don’t know, and we become afraid to dive into the pool, not knowing how deep the waters might be. This course is designed to help start your first novel. Get a handle on common writing jargon, acronyms, and practices that you will see in classes, workshops, conferences, and writing forums. The goal is to create the starting materials and plans that will allow you to begin a novel-length project. Let us demystify the process of starting a novel together. You don’t have to dive into these waters alone.
