Hello hello

Here's the start to the official blog for the Novelling Workshop Decal Course, taught at UC Berkeley! woooo!

Here's some of the literature about the course in general:

"This course is designed to help students create a single coherent outline of at least 15 pages for a novel. Students of all levels of writing experience are encouraged to join. The onlyrequirement is a general story idea! Class meetings will consist of twenty-five minutes of peer editing with one or two other students, ten minutes of creative writing, and forty-five minutes of discussing the readings. Students are expected to keep up with the readings and use the outlining techniques tocontinuously work on their outlines."

"At the end of the course, you will have a complete and coherent outline for your full-length novel. You will know what it takes to outline a novel—the sweat, blood, and tears—and you will be able to practice this skill over and over in order to make your brainchildren come to life. The world in your imagination will materialize on paper so that you may spend your summer onthe final product of a novel—it should be relatively, since most of the hard work will be finished! We encourage you to seek publishing when your novel is completed and to keep in touch withyour peers. After all, your friend’s book might be sitting next to yours on the bestseller’s list in afew years!"
