    Review of WRITING FICTION & short stories, November 06, 2008

    I took the writing fiction and short stories class in summer 2008 through the experimental college, taught by Nils Osmar. I found it on Craigslist and signed up online on the experimental college web page. It's a good class. I got a lot of writing done, worked some kinks out of it and learned a lot. Nils covered all the basics and cleared up some things I had been wondering about. As a teacher he is encouraging, but also will tell you if there is a problem with your writing, and help you get on track and get it figured out. Five of us got together after the class for a writing group which was another thing I had been looking for, which Nils encouraged and gave us some good suggestions about how to set it up.
