课程名称：创造性写作：风格的技巧 课程概述：每位写作者的风格都是独特而显著的，像面孔和声音一样，然而风格是可以选择和锻炼的。在本课程中，我们将向有志的作家介绍施加语言压力的艺术。我们将研究隐喻和意象的运用，并展示清晰、优雅和创造性用词对故事成功的重要性。学员将掌握所有优秀作家所必需的修订技能，提升写作能力。 课程大纲： 1. 名称：意义、感知与清晰度 描述：在第一个模块中，我们专注于确保你的文字表达出你想要传达的意思。我们平衡抽象与具有良好意义的需要，讨论任何散文作者都必须面对的首尾风格难题——清晰性。 2. 名称：用名词和动词写作 描述：在第二个模块中，我们将关注不同的词类，并研究名词和动词如何成为良好风格和叙述的基础。通过名词，我们使叙述世界中的人物、地点和事物生动；通过动词，我们保持故事的活力与动感。 3. 名称：经济性 描述：在第三个模块中，在练习了添加词汇后，我们学习如何删减词汇及其原因：为了幽默、清晰、简洁，以及那种使风格无可抗拒的敏捷感。 4. 名称：“没有思想，只有实物” 描述：在课程的最后一个模块中，我们学习如何平衡获取思想和情感的驱动，以及故事对具体性和真实性的需求。我们学习将思想以叙述世界中的具体事物的形式表达，从而产生既能传达感官世界又能触及思维世界的风格。
Name:Meaning, Sense, and Clarity
Description:Here in the first module we focus on putting pressure on your words so that they mean what you intend. We balance abstraction with the need to make good sense. And we discuss the first and last stylistic difficulty of any prose writer, being clear.
Name:Writing with Nouns and Verbs
Description:In the second module we look at the various parts of speech and how two of them—nouns and verbs—are the building blocks of good style and good narratives. By relying on nouns, we make the people, places, and things of the narrative world vivid. By relying on verbs we keep the story alive and in motion.
Name:Economy
Description:In the third module, having practiced putting words in, we learn to take them out. And why: for humor, for clarity, for cleanliness, and for that fleet quality of wit that makes a style irresistible.
Name:"No Ideas But in Things"
Description:In the the final module of the course, we learn to balance the drive to get at ideas and feelings, with the need the story always has for concreteness, realness. We learn to express ideas in the form of physical things in a narrative world, to produce a style that speaks as much to the world of the senses as to the world of the mind.
Your style is as unique and distinctive as your face, your voice, except that you can choose it, you can can work on it, enhance it. In this course we will introduce aspiring writers to the art of putting pressure on written language. We will study the use of metaphor and imagery, and demonstrate how clarity, grace, and inventiveness in word choice are imperative to a story’s success. Writers will emerge with the revision skills essential to all writers of good stories and good prose.
