If you're ready to engage your imagination and writing practice in an incredibly powerful way, then "Writing: It Writes Itself - tapping your creativity" is the perfect way to begin your journey.

This eight week creative writing course, based on the book by the instructor, It Writes Itself: A Travel Guide to Writing Fiction, is an innovative approach that helps writers enter into their fictional worlds so vividly, that writing becomes the act of listening, watching and writing down what happens. With easy to follow exercises which combine improv techniques and creative visualization, Raulino takes you on a creativity freeing trip that serves as the anchor to the very best writing you can produce.

Raulino shares exercises every week designed to bolster your confidence and free your writing muse. The course is ideal for both inexperienced and seasoned writers. If you're hung up on writers' block, you'll find new ideas and solutions in this course.

The instructor, Susannah Raulino, is an accomplished screenwriter and active participant in the improv scene in Austin, TX, where she plays regularly with the improv troupes "The Dancy Street D'Orchestra" and "Umami."

"I teach this class to share a process I created that has turned writing from a chore to a joy for me, and I have watched it work for my students. ... You don't have to be right, you just have to write!" says Raulino.

By constantly developing new teaching materials and tailoring classes to students, Raulino combines the very best exercises to give students a true path to creating powerful, funny and moving works of fiction, from novels and short stories to screenplays and poetry.
