Welcome, creative writers!

I hope that you have chosen to take this class because you like to write or because you want to learn how to write better. The class title says it all. In this class we will write, and we will be creative. The overall goal of this class is to become not only a better writer but also a better thinker.

Plagiarism will result in a grade of ZERO for the assignment. If you're not sure, ASK! Original thought is precious, and stealing the words or thoughts of others is theft.
